companion to the medieval sword. We have great traditional styled Medieval daggers
from the Black Prince Dagger to the King's Ring dagger. Medieval daggers are
a double edged small pointed knife used by Middle Age soldiers for personal
protection during warfare. When they cannot access their other big weapons
like swords and spears, medieval daggers were there. Medieval daggers are
very sharp and can penetrate the shields and armour.

Our Roman Daggers also called the Pugio,
replicate originals that have survived in remarkably good condition in a
European museum.
The distinct shape of the Pugio blade
was excellent for a close quartersfight, and was used throughout the
legions. Roman daggers were a basic part of the roman army. When they were
in close formation and the sword or spear could not be used, the Roman
dagger was the next weapon of choice.

The Scottish Dirk was a direct
descendent of the Medieval ballock dagger. The grip form began to change,
probably sometime in the late 16th century, but soon developed a form that
was purely Scottish. For those with a serious interest in the Highlands, a
Scottish dagger or Scottish dirk is a must for any collection. Scottish
daggers have inscriptions on their ornate hilts and handles that are made of
box wood. Scottish daggers are like a work of but beware they are still a
true dagger used for stabbing.
