In contrast to the judicial sword, which served as an insignia when a sentence was passed, the Executioner's sword was used to behead the convict when kneeling or sitting. In the ideal case, the head was hacked off between the 3rd and 4th cervical vertebra. In contrast to all other death sentences, execution with the Executioner's sword was considered honourable and thus did no harm to the honour of the convicted person or his family.
