Medieval Landsknecht’s Dagger with Sheath, Battle-Ready (Practical Blunt), SK-B
The Landsknechte (also Landsknechts or Lansquenets) were the notorious, mostly German mercenaries of the late 15th / 16th century. Beside their primary weapons (the pike and the so-called Katzbalger short sword), they often carried a dagger as a secondary weapon.
This beautiful late medieval dagger features a hardened spring steel blade which was tempered to a Rockwell hardness of approx. 48-50 HRC. It is full-tanged and has a fuller running on both sides about two-thirds down the blade. The steel guard slightly curves towards the blade and is composed of three quillons with ball-shaped, fluted finials. The elegant wooden grip is capped with an equally stylish steel pommel. The handsome vegetable tanned leather sheath is equipped with a belt loop.
The blade’s blunt edges and rounded tip make this Landsknecht dagger ideal for combat reenactment, stage fighting or sparring.

Specs may slightly vary from piece to piece.
The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain the blade on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.
As wood is a natural product, variations in colour and grain are quite normal. Each dagger has thus its own very unique handle and above pictures are for reference only.
