An anelace, also called an anlace, is typically regarded as a medieval long dagger.[1] However, some sources treat it as a type of sword. An anelace was sharp on both sides and could be carried at the small of the back[2] or girdle.[3] Two anelaces could be used in a paired fighting style similar to using a sword and parrying dagger. It's knowed in Verona (Veneto, north-est Italy) with the name cinquedea in english "five fingers".
