In the Darkness of City Blocks
On Baruz's hip, the polished barrel of a short shotgun, obviously custom-made, gleamed.
The smooth handle smoothly turned into a sharp spike. Neat hieroglyphs cut along the barrel, a pair of leather straps holding the weapon securely against his thigh. On the belt, in the scabbard, dangled a wooden stake, about thirty-five centimeters long, the Kol from above is enclosed in a kind of steel cage with pointed edges. The hilt is tightly wrapped with a tsuka-Ito (“hilt thread”), similar to the winding of Japanese swords, with a double overlap, the Guard smoothly protrudes from the hilt, forming a small rhombus, with concave sides and served more for beauty than protection.
