Practice Dagger is a wooden sword or "waster" allowed a warrior to practice full combat safely and economically while preserving his precious steel for the real battle to come. The overall length of the dagger is 17 1/4". Practice Dagger is fully seasoned and hand crafted in solid hardwood to be strong enough to meet the needs of today's swordsman (or woman). Each can take the abuse of sparring and reenacting, even edge-to-edge. (Keep in mind, however, that wood can break along grain lines.) The designs represent edge weapons common from the 12th to 15th centuries. A dagger has evolved out of prehistoric tools. It is a weapon mostly used for stabbing and is considered a secondary or even tertiary weapon. The earliest daggers appear in the Bronze Age in the 3rd millennium BC. Almost from the very beginning of the Egyptian history, daggers were adorned as ceremonial objects with golden hilts and later even more ornate and varied construction. Until today, military officers wear ceremonial daggers as a symbol of power and soldiers are still equipped with combat knives. Overall Length: 17 1/4" Blade Length: 11 1/2" Blade Width: 1 1/8" |
