As sturdy as an oak, this attractive dagger features a beautifully designed hilt. Graceful acorn shapes form the pommel and the finials at the tips of the elegantly downturned guard. Although the original was probably German in origin, it is a type that would be used all through Europe and most likely dates from the mid-16th century. The high carbon steel blade is framed with hardwood grips. Includes leather sheath. Overall- 18" * Blade- 13" long, 1 1/8" wide * Wt.- 3/4 lbs. This dagger can be seen in the book, "European Daggers" by Bashford Dean.
