Katzbalger by Leo Todeschini. This style of sword was famously used by the Landsknecht. The name could be roughly translated to cat brawler, meaning a weapon for fighting tooth-and-nail with.

This example includes a set of knife and pricker, a very common combination of tools for the era, stored in a pocket on the scabbard.
