The ricasso is an section of blade of a weapon (typically a sword blade) that does not have an edge.
Found on swords such as claymores, rapiers and some medieval swords.
It allows the wielder to either hook a finger over the cross guard or grab the blades with a hand in order to half sword. It is also an excellent place to execute a parry.
