Italian dagger with fishtail pommel, 15 cen
This royal Renaissance dagger features a fishtail type pommel popular during the 15th century. The flourish of the pommel and star shaped quillons provided a regal presence that enhanced this quick daggers function. The elegantly tapered long blade has a heavy spine for strength, catering to a powerful thrust. This dagger is ideal for a puncturing weapon as this large and rigid spine will impart more of the force of the thrust into its target than a thinner and more flexible blade. The pommel gives excellent balance while the contoured, hard wood grip fits nicely into the palm and contours of the hand. More information...
