Together with our classic French rapier, this French parrying dagger is part of a matching set. It has a sharply curved crossguard with an extra ring for skillfully parrying attacks. The blade with a short ricasso is remarkable for its simplicity – characteristic of the late Renaissance – while the grip reveals the true elegance of this parrying dagger. The tang is embedded in genuine horn with a groove filled with sophisticated braided wire – for beauty and a secure grasp. The seams between the crossguard and grip and the pommel and grip are also filled with decorative rings of braided wire. You can romanticize the graceful shapes of a rapier and matching dagger, but at the same time, remember that they are deadly close combat weapons.
The French parrying dagger comes with a black leather scabbard featuring a mount and chape.
