Review all specifications before proceeding with your order to ensure this fits your battle action collection.

Designed for Stealth and Efficiency

Historically, stilettos were used for piercing armor and assassinating targets, thanks to their lightweight and easy-to-conceal form. A stiletto could also be considered a misericorde, or mercy blade, which was used to kill a knight whose wounds were fatal, but not immediately so.

Often confused with a switchblade, the stiletto is a thrusting weapon, known more for precision than quick deployment. In reenactment scenarios, it offers a physical connection to medieval battle action tools, though you should always verify local regulations before bringing this dagger to events.

Hand-Forged Strength and Authentic Craftsmanship

The fully functional blade is dual hardened and forged from 1095 high-carbon steel. Meanwhile, the ridged hilt is mild steel, threaded onto the blade. This design holds the short crossguard in place, completing the weapon with durable construction.

With its sharp, narrow point, it easily slips between armor plates, making it ideal for collectors looking for a blade that doesn’t just look authentic, but can respond to actual use. In the hands of an expert, you can expect this dagger to do just that with frightening ease.

Please be aware that this dagger is hand-forged, and as such, its finish and its overall measurements can vary slightly from what is shown here. Consider this a natural part of completing a handcrafted, functional collection.
