Closing Knife Emerson Hattin SF.

When European crusaders first encountered the armies of Islam in the Middle East, they were surprised by the battle tactics of their Muslim enemies. For the first time, European armies faced the lightning-fast raids of mounted light cavalry that also carried the lightning-fast sword, the sabre. Light, fast and deadly are probably the best words that could be used to describe this exotic and formidable weapon.

The scimitar was a one-handed weapon with a very sure grip, and its lines flowed in a graceful slashing arc to the point of death, resulting in a weapon equally effective at stabbing and slashing. Emerson Hattin is named after the Battle of Hattin which took place on 4 July 1187, a historic battle fought on the arid plains below the Horns of Hattin, which resulted in the crushing defeat of the Crusaders and Byzantines by the army of Sal Al A Dina (Saladin), the greatest of all Islamic warriors and the later enemy of Richard Coure de Leone (Richard the Lionheart). The Emerson Hattin has a scimitar style blade and conveys the exact same meaning of the three words, light, swift and deadly, that were first described nearly a thousand years ago.

When you pick one up, close your eyes and you might be able to hear the battle cry of warriors and the clang of sharpened steel far in the distance from the battle that still haunts the arid plains of the Middle East and is ongoing. led today between the forces of good and evil.
