Medieval Landsknecht Dagger, Practical Blunt, SK-B

Medieval Landsknecht's Dagger with Sheath, Battle-Ready (Practical Blunt), SK-B

The Landsknechte (also Landsknechts or Lansquenets) were the notorious, mostly German mercenaries of the late 15th / 16th century. Beside their primary weapons (the pike and the so-called Katzbalger short sword), they often carried a dagger as a secondary weapon.

This beautiful late medieval dagger features a hardened spring steel blade which was tempered to a Rockwell hardness of approx. 48-50 HRC. It is full-tanged and has a fuller running on both sides about two-thirds down the blade. The steel guard slightly curves towards the blade and is composed of three quillons with ball-shaped, fluted finials. The elegant wooden grip is capped with an equally stylish steel pommel. The handsome vegetable tanned leather sheath is equipped with a belt loop.

The blade's blunt edges and rounded tip make this Landsknecht dagger ideal for combat reenactment, stage fighting or sparring.
