MAA Shell Hilt Dagger

The latest addition to our Man at Arms series, our Shell Guard style "Main Gauche" is a parrying dagger designed to be used in conjunction with a longer blade. Its lengthy solid steel quillions and shell guard protect the users hand from incoming attacks while offering plenty of leverage for deflecting, parrying and temporarily binding the opponent's blade. Our Shell Guard Dagger is beautifully balanced, with a sturdy pommel counter balancing its stiff and sharp 12.5" blade. Lustrously blued to a deep black luster, with an aged leather grip, it's as good looking as it is effective! Specifications: Blade Length: 12 1/2" Blade Thickness: 5.5 mm Overall Length: 19 1/2" Steel: 1090 Carbon Weight: 22.4 oz Handle: 7" Scabbard: Leather Scabbard with Blued Steel Fittings
