Slapshot Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The quality of the swords made back then must not have been very good. Either that or the dagger wielder was pretty strong, LOL> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 One of a class of off handed daggers called "parrying daggers". Used in conjunction with a one handed sword, such as a rapier. As said above, intended to catch and control your attacker's primary sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
