Just as described, the leather sheath holds it amazingly well; with or with out the strap, it felt more decorative. The blade was made rather symmetrically, even the tip came as compatible for costuming.

This unique little Brass Hilt Stiletto Dagger is a misericorde more than a dagger, technically speaking.
The long thin triangular cross-sectioned blade is NOT ‘double-edged’ as the description claims, but instead it has a three-sided, long, and narrow, ‘blade’.
These were misericordes that were meant primarily to deliver a final killing wound to a knight, or a soldier, who has been already mortally wounded: but whose wounds were such that it would take awhile to die from them.
The word “misericorde” comes from the French ‘misericorde’ meaning ‘mercy’, which itself is derived from the Latin “misericordia”, which means ‘an act of mercy’.
The triangular blade is very pointy and very narrow for the reason of quick and easy insertion between plates of armor, or vulnerable body points such as the heart (through the arm opening of a breastplate or cuirass, between the ribs, and piercing the heart): or through the temple or eye socket to the brain, or other vital points, to give the sufferer a quicker death.
This stiletto is not designed to take the place of a dagger; although some misericordes are much larger, and have very long, thin two-edged blades, and ARE in fact, both dagger and misericorde combined.
These types of weapons were ‘mercy-killing’ weapons that didn’t serve many other functions, and were usually carried in addition to a dagger of the flat-bladed type; for eating, offense and defense, and utility.
I really like this little misericorde, it is good-looking, and gruesome in design and purpose. Very solid, and the brass hilt is attractive.
The sheath for it is awesome as well; well made, and holds the misericorde in place very well.
(AS an ‘aside’): In the Middle Ages there were two types of objects referred to as ‘misericordes’). One usage describes these mercy-killing weapons: the other use of the word has a minor difference in spelling: ‘misericord’ with no “e” at the end refers to the wooden carved designs which were carved onto the wooden seat of chairs which folded up and down, in the choir-loft of a cathedral or larger stone church. They would be unseen until the seat of the chair was folded into its upright space-saving position: which revealed the beautifully carved, often humorous designs of people, animals, and objects in nature, hidden on the underside of the chair-seat.
I think that both kinds of medieval misericord(e)s are badass!
I give this Brass Hilted Stiletto Dagger a solid 5-Stars!
