the knuckles article mentions “white weapons”. is that a term of art in italian that i’m too not-italian-speaking to know?

Yes, it’s the literal translation of our term for bladed melee weapons.

To add to this, it is the general term for all non-firearms: so it covers also bludgeons and anything else you swing by hand.

Oh, I was convinced it was specifically bladed, as opposed to armi contundenti.
