💡

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The knight unsheathed his estoc to strike through the joints of the enemy's plate armor. Unlike a broadsword, the estoc was designed for precision piercing rather than slashing. Historians found a beautifully preserved estoc dating back to the 14th century. He carried an estoc as his secondary weapon for close-quarters combat. The triangular cross-section of the estoc made the blade incredibly rigid.
