The gold grips are made by putting underneath thin yellow
canvas or a different canvas yellowed with chalk. And this
canvas is set with glue or the aforesaid gum, this
is in order that the thread holds better on it. These are made of
cords like the silk ones & between two cords one sets one or
two threads to make it show up better. The silver kind is
made similarly, and there is not as much trouble as with silk,
and even less because it takes more to twist silk, because one
needs to twist it twice. A grip of fine gold is worth 18 or 20
sols.

The best sword point is the sage leaf form.

This long plank on which the sword is attached & laid down to
furbish it is called the
chameau, it is
commonly of rowan which is
hard & even.

The lower stick which is folded like a bow is called the
arson.

The upper is called the stick of the
fustée.

And this small square piece, which is put
lon the sword to burnish it, is called the
fustée.

There are two horns: one is called the oil horn and
the other the emery horn.


There is an iron which is made like a halberd point,
square, & of very even steel, & well filed,
which is called the
grateau which
serves to to soften the traces of the
file on sword guards & to give an edge to swords after they
have been milled, which is better than with a stone or a
coux, which quite often makes scratches.

To make coupp swords cut better, one gives them
the edge by pulling upwards from the point.

Those who create sword guards are artisans
separate from the furbisher.

 A is the
bruisson


B is the bloodstone

The fustée is a square piece of wood
three fingers in thickness, of
boxwood, which is fitted in the middle of the stick
of the fustée to furbish.

The fresil stick is of willow
wood which is to clean the rust off weapons with
fresil which is the iron scale falling
at the farriers' forge.
