Templar Dagger Non Nobis Domine with Heraldic Engravings
Design and Craftsmanship
The first thing that will catch your eye is the richly decorated hilt. The handle and guard are cast from Zamak alloy and finished with a patinated silver coating that highlights the intricate engravings. The centrepiece of the guard is a gold medallion depicting two knights on a single horse – the traditional symbol of Templar poverty and brotherhood. The pommel is disc-shaped and bears the Templar Cross, a motif repeated throughout the handle design. The blade is made from high-quality tempered stainless steel (AISI 440), ensuring it maintains its brilliant finish without the need for constant maintenance.

Historical Context and Usage
In the Middle Ages, a dagger served a knight as a secondary weapon for close-quarters combat, often called a misericorde (mercy dagger), used to deliver a final blow through gaps in armour. However, due to its elaborate decoration and material composition, this particular model is intended as a decorative item. It is ideal as a centerpiece for your office, historical library, or as a magnificent accessory for LARP or historical costumes where contact combat is not required.
Maintenance and Safety Instructions
As this is a decorative replica, the dagger is not suitable for practical fencing (HEMA), cutting tests, or any form of combat. While the blade has a sharp point, the hilt construction is not designed to withstand the impact of clashing with other weapons. To keep your dagger looking brand new, we recommend:
- Regularly wiping the blade with a dry cloth to remove fingerprints, as natural oils can be corrosive over time.
- Do not clean the decorated hilt with harsh chemicals; a soft cloth is sufficient.
- Never use the dagger for prying or hacking into hard materials, as this may damage the ornamental components.
Recommended Accessories
For a perfect display or to complete your Templar ensemble, we recommend a wooden dagger stand or the matching large Templar Sword (e.g., SKU 731), which features identical design elements and creates an impressive collection when paired with this dagger.
This product includes a Certificate of Origin and Quality from Marto in Toledo, making it a genuine collector's piece for any history enthusiast.
