Wikipedia definition
5. Backsword​A backsword is a type of European sword characterized as having a straight single edged blade and a hilt with a single handed grip. It is so called because the triangular cross section gives a flat back edge opposite the cutting edge. Later examples often have a "false edge" on the back near the tip, which was in many cases sharpened to make an actual edge and facilitate thrusting attacks.
