A '''Dussack''' (also dusack, dysack, tesak, tuseckn, thuseckn, disackn, or dusägge, dusegge, dusegg, from the Czech "tesák") is a large type of knife often with a long cutting edge in the front and a shorter in the back. It is thought to originate from Central and Eastern Europe (specifically in Bohemia in 300 AD). <br />
<br />
The word dussack was adopted about the [[16th century]] by the [[Germany|Germans]] to refer to a [[waster|practice weapon]] of similar design.<ref name=Amberger/> This dussack was intended to represent various short, single-edged weapons in a training environment. Using a dussack, one could train for the [[falchion]], or [[cutlass]], ''Hiebmesser'' or ''[[großes Messer]]'' (which translates to English as "big knife").

<br />
No wooden (or leather) practice dussacks are known to have survived; unsurprising given the perishable nature of the dussack, and only woodcuts and training manuals from the period document their existence.<br />
