Steel Rondel Daggers were a common feature of the early 16thC, but it was a fashion that started in the later 15thC. Popular with Landsknechts and are characteristically German of this period.  

The dagger features concave sheet steel discs, a hexagonal flared steel grip with brass (latten) inlays, incised decoration and a brass tang button. The double sided diamond section blade is strong and stout and is fitted in a veg-tan cupped leather sheath, featuring a brass chape.

Overall length                  42cm/16.5”

Grip length                       95mm/3.75”

Blade length                    30cm/11.75”

Edge sharpness

Semi-Sharp is 'butter knife sharp'; it has a very fine flat on the edge

Sharp has been ground to give a reasonable cutting edge, but final honing, if required, is by the customer.

Please note: The colours may vary in tone from the photos here. Each skin of leather is different and reacts differently to the dye so they may be darker or lighter in tone.
