DAGGERS

[Rental prices below are for the first 30 days.]

A double edged knife with an acute angle at its point; primarily a thrusting weapon. As with knives in general, blade lengths of more than 18 inches put the weapon in the realm of short sword rather than dagger. Daggers disappear from men’s dress by about 1660.

 

Photos are to illustrate guard only. Grip and pommel will change with each order

 

Do you need only the dagger, or some way to attach it to the actor as well? Once you're done selecting the hilt and blade, take a look at our  leather goods  rental section which has sashes, belts, frogs and scabbards
