corvo knife
El corvo es un arma blanca tradicional chilena, de carácter ofensivo, apta para la lucha cuerpo a cuerpo.
The corvo is a bladed weapon typically used in Chile. It is a knife with a curved blade of approximately 12 centimetres. Initially a tool, it was widely used in combat during the War of the Pacific, though it was not standard equipment.
Regards,
Marta

Nelida Kreer
: Agreed. The more so as the character used the "corvo" to apply "machetazos", which you can only apply with a machete.....
