This is the first HEMA book that I published in English, together with the rest of the Technical Commitee of Sala d’Arme Achille Marozzo. The publisher is the Italian National Fencing Academy. A basic book for whoever wants to go deeper in the Italian Renaissance schools of arms.

In Spain between the 18th and 19th centuries, a brutal and fascinating fighting art emerged: the navaja.
This book brings back to light the mysterious Manual del Baratero (1849), a rare treatise on the use of knife, dagger, and scissors among the gitanos and in the Andalusian underworld.
Through duels, lightning-fast strikes, cunning tricks, and ruthless techniques, a real and practical combat system takes shape—one built for survival.
Enriched with the accounts of Davillier, the engravings of Doré, and the author’s practical experience, this volume offers a unique journey through history, technique, and legend.
For historical fencers, martial artists, enthusiasts of edged weapons, and lovers of European martial traditions.
A ruthless art of honor, deception, and steel.
