TakaraTOMY Bludgeon (L) vs. Hasbro Bludgeon (R):


Okay, I don't know if anyone can tell, cos I posed these in a real hurry and the stances/positions probably aren't very accurate - but the intention at least was to have TOMY Bludgeon using Japanese kenjutsu vs. Hasbro Bludgeon using Spanish Rapier Brawling (so the Japanese toy is using a Japanese martial art and the Western Bludgeon is using a European martial art ). But anyway, this demonstrates a basic technique from Rapier fighting -- using the dagger to make contact and 'stick' to your opponent's sword, thus trapping it, then following up by bringing your own sword down and slashing across the opponent's throat (cutting the jugular vein).
