The Renaissance main-gauche (French for "left hand) was used mainly to assist in defence by parrying incoming thrusts, while the dominant hand wields a rapier or similar longer weapon intended for one-handed use. The blade of this Main Gauche has a 12cm-long-ricasso and two U-shaped, approx. 52mm deep notches (so-called. blade breaker). The blade is made from 5mm thick tempered spring steel.
