Product description
The German Landsknechten were mercenary soldiers who took over the role of the Swiss Landsknechten around the end of the fifteenth century. Most of them were pikemen. In the sixteenth century they played an important role in European warfare. The German Landsknechten mainly carried a peak as a weapon and a Katzbalger (short sword), with a dagger as a secondary weapon. This dagger is based on late medieval originals. It has a beautiful wooden grip with a spiral pattern, this pattern continues into the steel pommel. It has a full tang. The guard has three quillions with ball-shaped ends, these are also in the form of a spiral. This makes the dagger visually a beautiful whole. The dagger is delivered including a very luxurious scabbard made of high quality leather. The dagger has a belt loop to hang it on your belt, and a leather lace so that you can tie the dagger to the scabbard. This way it will stay secure even during the heat of battle. The scabbard is beautifully decorated with leather lace cross-stitches. The scabbard has an authentic and handmade look.
