www.darkwoodarmory.com/blades.shtmlWhere do you see tessack? The dussagge blade should be short and curved, normal broadsword is just like what it sounds, straight and a with some meat on the blade.

When I entered Dussage on my browser I got directed to the Sword Forum International, but it didn't seem all that clear to me . Could the Dussage type blade be more or less compared to a cutlass type blade ?? On the Forum they also used the term Tessack, but it seems that's it's more or less the same type as the Dussage blade.

ANother name for Dussage (and it's actually more popular) is dussak/dussack.
A cutlass is a good example, but the best example in in Darkwood's basket hilt section - look at the sinclair hilt - that's a dussage blade.
