Could we get customary measurements in here? I don't know centimeters.

I redirected Schiavone to point here as they were clearly two articles on the same topic and this one was longer. Here is the text from Schiavone which maybe should be merged in here:

Schiavone, the Italian name of the basket-hilted sword of the 17th century, resembling what is erroneously called the claymore of Highland regiments. The schiavone was the sword of the Slavonic guards (Schiavoni) of the doges of Venice, whence the name.
