I ka Ka Makahiki o kaʻIke, Ua hoomaka na koa Pukiki i na huakai wiwo ole i e ʻimi i nā ʻāina ʻike ʻole a hoʻokumu i nā ala kalepa. No ka mālama pono ʻana i ko lākou palekana ma luna o nā moku a me nā kaʻa kaʻa, ua hoʻohana lākou a mea kaua kū hoʻokahi kapa ʻia ʻo Carracks Black Sword, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka Crab Sword.
Ua hana ʻia kēia pahi kaua kupanaha ma Pokukala i ke kenekulia 15 a ua hoʻolālā ʻia no nā koa a me nā luina i kā lākou ʻimi honua. He kiaʻi kūʻokoʻa me nā apo pale ʻelua, i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka pale ʻana i nā manamana lima o ka mea hoʻohana ʻoiai ʻo ia ka mea e pahele ai i ka maka o ka hoa paio.
ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kaulana o ka Carracks Black Sword ʻo kona kala ʻeleʻele. Ua pena nā koa Pukiki i nā pahi kaua i ʻeleʻele i mea e pale aku ai i ka ʻike ʻana o ka mālamalama, kahi e hiki ai ke kumakaia i ko lākou hele ʻana ma luna o nā moku. Eia kekahi, ua kōkua ka pena ʻeleʻele i ka hoʻēmi ʻana i ka ʻino i hana ʻia e ka wai paʻakai, e hōʻoia ana i ka lōʻihi o ka hana o ka pahi kaua.
Ma waho aʻe o kāna mau hiʻohiʻona pono, he inoa ʻokoʻa ko ka pahi kaua ma waena o nā koa Pukiki. Ua kapa ʻia lākou ʻo "Colhona", kahi huaʻōlelo i unuhi ʻia i "nā pōpō nui" ma ka ʻōlelo Pukiki. Hāʻawi ʻia kēia inoa i nā ʻāpana poʻe poʻe o ka pahi kaua e like me ke ʻano o nā testicles, i hui pū ʻia me kona ʻano phallic.
ʻAʻole maopopo ke kumu maoli o ka pahi kaua, akā ʻike ʻia nā pahi kaua like me nā ʻano like i waena o nā pūʻali Castilian a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka Iberian Peninsula. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ka pahi kaua Iberia o ka hopena o ke kenekulia 15.
ʻO ka Pukiki Guard Sword, kekahi hiʻohiʻona kaulana i waena o nā pūʻali Pukiki i kēia manawa, ua hōʻike ʻia i kahi pahi pololei me kahi ʻāpana daimana, kahi pommel discoidal, a me nā kiaʻi like-volute. ʻAʻole maopopo ke kumu o kēia pahi kaua, akā hiki ke ʻike ʻia ma nā hana kiʻi mai ka hopena o ke kenekulia 14.
Ua hoʻokomo pū ʻo Nuno Gonçalves kiʻi Pukiki kaulana i ka Pukiki Guard Sword i kāna mau hana, e like me ka Saint Vincent Panels a me ka Pastrana Tapestries, e hoʻopaʻa hou ana i kona ʻano moʻomeheu.
ʻOiai ʻo ka Pukiki Guard Sword a me ka Carracks Black Sword kaʻana like i ka hoʻolālā, pono ʻole e huikau iā lākou. ʻO ka Carracks Black Sword, me kāna hiʻohiʻona colhona, he mana Pukiki kūʻokoʻa i loaʻa mai ka pahi kaua kiaʻi Pukiki. ʻO ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka pā a i ʻole ka diski ma ka hope o kēlā me kēia quillon i hāʻawi i ka mea hoʻohana i ka pahi i kahi ʻoi hou i ka hakakā melee.
Ua hoʻohana nui ʻia nā pahi kaua colhona ma nā kūlanakauhale kālepa Pukiki ma ʻApelika i ke kenekulia 16 a ua lilo i hōʻailona o ka hanohano i apo ʻia e nā aliʻi kūloko. ʻO kēia hoʻonui Pukiki i ʻApelika i alakaʻi i ka laha ʻana o ka pahi kaua ma waena o ka poʻe ʻApelika, ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he hōʻailona kūlana.
I loko o nā papa inoa o kēia wā, ua wehewehe pinepine ʻia ka Carracks Black Sword ma ke ʻano he "espada preta de bordo," me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i kāna pena ʻeleʻele a me kona hoʻohana ʻana no ka hakakā lima lima ma luna o nā moku a me nā pā kaua ma ke kahakai ʻo ʻApelika.
I ka hopena, ʻo ka Carracks Black Sword, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka Crab Sword a i ʻole Colhona, he a mea kaua kupaianaha i hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻokō i nā pono kūʻokoʻa o na koa Pukiki i ka wa Ka Makahiki o kaʻIke. ʻO kona waihoʻoluʻu ʻeleʻele, kiaʻi kūʻokoʻa, a me nā lau ʻē aʻe i lilo ia i mea kaua weliweli, e ʻae ana i nā koa e pale aku i ka ʻike ʻana a me ke kaua ʻana i ka corrosion. I ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi Pukiki i ʻApelika, ua kaulana ka pahi kaua ma waena o ka lehulehu o ʻApelika ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona kūlana hanohano. ʻO ka mōʻaukala a me ke koʻikoʻi o ka pahi kaua he mea hōʻike i ke akamai kupaianaha a me ka waiwai o nā koa Pukiki i kēia au o ka ʻimi ʻana a me ka ʻike.
