This is a tiny rondel dagger, a popular knightly side arm, designed to counter armour in close combat by penetrating the vulnerable gaps, such as the armpit or the visor slit. The disc shaped guards, or rondels, allowed it to be pushed with greater force, and the triangular shaped blade with a false edge provided a strong and rigid point.
The blade is hand forged from silver steel, with a pair of brass rondel discs. The handle is made of thuya burl wood with a fluted shape.
The blade is blunt but does have a pointy tip so should be handled with care
Materials:
High Carbon steel, brass, burl wood.

Approx 75mm / 3 Inches
