This style of dagger, often called a dining or utility dagger, was found across all social levels, from humble peasants to armored knights. Its simple yet sturdy blade was well-suited for cutting meat or slicing bread, while the polished hardwood grip and brass fittings offered a solid, comfortable hold. The scabbard made it easy to carry on the belt, ready for everyday tasks beyond the feast. Forged using traditional smithing methods, this dagger embodies the practical tools that shaped daily medieval life.
