At home sick for the day. Just spent the last couple hours scouring the web and putting together a folder of Spadone / Montante material. I may start playing with this, a little outside my normal area of interest (15th century) but come-on - it's a big freakin' sword!
In a few days I will probably be finished with a post about some thoughts on axe combat based on the axe bouts from the 600 - especially my three bouts.

Montante! The coolest of all weapons.
I'd very much like to know what material made it into your folder, please.
Not much, truth be told.
