Rondel Dagger - 14th Century

A rondel was a type of dagger used throughout in Europe in the late Middle Ages (from the 14th century onwards), used by a variety of people from merchants to knights. It was worn at the waist and might be used as a utility tool, or worn into battle or a jousting tournament as a side-arm.
There are many manuscripts written on its use and it was clearly an efficient weapon in the right hands.

This is an excellent example of the Rondel Dagger. It has a hardwood twisted grip, solid brass fittings, and a stitched soft leather scabbard.
