Description
Medieval Dagger in the 15th Century Style
This dagger replicates a hammer head pommel design typical of 15th century England, inspired by an original held at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. The blade is forged from high carbon 1075 steel, carefully tempered to balance hardness and resilience, allowing it to hold an edge while resisting breakage. The guard and pommel are crafted from mild steel, providing sturdy protection and balance to the weapon. Included is a sheath fashioned by hand from leather, designed to protect the blade and offer ease of carry.
Note: For safety in reenactment use, this dagger is supplied with a blunt edge.
