    On an epee it can be Spanish, French or Italian. How is it related to Charles John Huffam Dickens’ raven?

    Question #101804. Asked by BRY2K. (Dec 19 08 7:20 PM)

    		"There are four types of grips commonly used today in foil and epee: French, Italian (mostly seen in classical fencing), a hybrid of these two known as the Spanish grip..."

    "Dickens had a pet raven named Grip."

    So, the connection between the two would be "grip".
