Schiller

German (the “squinting cut” or “squinter” or "glance strike") One of the Meisterhau. 1. According to Ringeck, to step in and strike at the opponent’s weak when they are in the Pflug in order to knock it aside and then thrust or cut. Often used to break the Langen Ort. 2. A downward cut with the false edge at the enemy’s shoulder or neck. 3. A sideways cut (from above) with the back or short edge (Kurze Schneide) of the blade, delivered with only one eye on your opponent due to the manner in which the head and torso turn in delivering the blow. Used mostly to deflect the opponent’s blade and at the same time inflict an injury with the point. The Schielhau may be delivered by bringing the blade back around behind the head to strike with the false edge and passing with the leg. Also called Schilhaw, Schiller, Squinters, Schilcher.
