During the 1600's a dagger was almost always carried by everyone and was used for two handed fighting with a sword or for when there was not room enough for a sword. The fullered blade has pierced work. Has a well-tempered 1095 high carbon steel blade. The pommel and guard are steel and the grip is wood wrapped in twisted steel wire for a very positive hold. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts, includes scabbard. Matching sword (#501144) available.
