Pirate Daggers

Like most of the big cities of the Renaissance, Munich Germany had a town watch. The watchmen enforced the law to some extent but were primarily a well-armed troop of well-to-do citizens out to guard their interests. Our Munich Town Watch dagger is a parrying dagger for the left hand and is meant to be used together with our Munich Town Watch rapier (sold separately).

Thanks to its size, it can be used as a secondary offensive weapon and not for parrying only. Two fullers, each with holes in four places, run the entire length of the ricasso. This ornamental device makes the Munich Town Watch dagger exciting and a bit lighter at the same time. The grip is very ergonomic. It is made of wood elaborately wrapped with steel wire and has a decorative braided wire at both ends. A riveted pommel shaped like a flattened ball completes the hilt of our Munich Town Watch dagger. It comes with a matching scabbard made of leather.

Stiletto daggers originated in northern Italy, but they were very popular throughout Europe during the entire Renaissance era. Renaissance assassins loved to used stilettos because they effectively sliced through the heavy clothing that people wore at that time.

The pointed, triangular blade also fits neatly through plate armor, and a knight would use a misericorde (mercy) to finish off a floundering opponent as required. From the blade to the handsomely rounded grip and pear-shaped pommel, our misericorde is made of steel. A short, rounded crossguard adds the finishing touch. The mount and chape of the leather scabbard included are also made of steel.

One of the most interesting features of the beautiful Renaissance dagger is its hexagonal, riveted grip made of nickel silver. It is slightly rounded to fit your hand. The three fullers, one that goes almost the entire length of the dagger and two others that stop at the end of the ricasso, decorate the blade. The crossguard and pommel are also made of nickel silver.
