Florentine Dagger

#402740
$154.95

Circa 1600The Italians were reportedly the first to form the school of fighting with a rapier and dagger; it is still called the Florentine style. Be that as it may, it was used by all European countries and thought to be the most difficult and fluid form of dueling. This is certainly a handsome dagger.  The shells of the guards have been taken to the literal sense. The quillions are long for added protection and the entire hilt has been given a beautiful aged look. The blades are from well tempered high carbon steel. This well-balanced dagger includes the scabbard. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®, it can be sharpened for additional charge. Matching rapier available. Overall: 18-1/2"Blade: 12-1/2" long, 1" wide, 3/16" thickWt: 1 lb/4 oz

The one I received has the shell covering the hilt similar to the companion rapier, this make more sense to protect the hand and make more use of the quillons for trapping another blade.  I was gladly supprised to find it differed from the one pictured as it also does not look so phallic like.  So that makes me wonder which one is the fluke?  4 out of 5 stars... one deducted for differing from the image.  Other wise the construction and material is all that I have come to expect from Windlass Steelcrafts.
