German dagger with leather sheath, 16th century
The late medieval and Renaissance parry dagger (also sometimes referred to as a quillon dagger, according to the English term) gets its name from the shape of its forend, which was basically a smaller version of the crossguards used for swords were characteristic of this period. This particular type of dagger, often fitted with a projecting ring or half-ring on one side of the guard, was designed to parry or block enemy swords in close combat, and its tapered blade with a sharp point was ideal for piercing padded armor and chain mail or for stabbing into gaps in an opponent's plate armor. Typically used as a weapon in addition to the sword or rapier and appearing in many different variations, the parry dagger enjoyed great popularity among knights, mercenaries (the famous, mostly German, hirelings of the late 15th and 16th centuries), and even wealthy citizens.
The beautiful stabbing weapon we offer here is based on an original piece from the early 16th century (ca. 1510-1540), now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art ( The Met ), located in New York City. The blade is made of en45 spring steel, has a diamond-shaped cross-section, and tapers to a sharp point. The cutting edges are unsharpened, and the tang is screwed into the end of the handle (threaded nut). The artfully crafted guard and pommel are made of brass with an antique finish, and the handle section is carved from wood. The guard, slightly flared on both sides toward the end, is fitted with a b-shaped side ring. The hexagonal pommel tapers upward and is crowned with a beautifully decorated flat cap.
The Landsknecht / Knight's dagger is delivered with a carefully stitched, vegetable-tanned leather sheath with sophisticated fittings (a plate with a button and a muzzle lanyard with movable support rings for attaching to the belt).
This Renaissance dagger is designed as a collector's item or decorative object and is also ideal as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.
