The Rondel Dagger was around for a long period of time and took many forms, from utilitarian to pure combat weapon, like this one. The grip is long enough to be grasped with a mail mitten or gauntlets, and the round guard and butt lock it securely in the hand. Many Rondels had plain dagger blades, but this compact type  has a thick, strong-fullered blade that ends with a reinforced tip for punching through mail and finding the small, unprotected areas of armor. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Scabbard included. Can be sharpened for additional fee.
  • Overall: 18"
  • Blade: 12-1⁄2" long, 1-1⁄4" wide, 1⁄4" thick
  • Wt: 1 lb/2 oz

This is quite possibly the best commericaly made dagger on the market today. More of a 15thC style rondel it is made wonderfully with a triple fullered ricasso single edged blade and wonderfully balanced. Sure there are better daggers out there or you could have a custom dagger made to suit your tastes but if you want a ready made, off the shelf dagger of high quality, faithfullt reproduced and at a rock bottom price, add this baby to your cart right now!

Best MRL item I own! Just buff off the lacquer and your good to go. A scabbard remake or revamp is essential to get a period look and feel.

This is a well made and sturdy dagger and is purely a thrusting weapon, as a dagger of this type should be. Looks closer to a 15th or early 16th century piece to me than mid 14th century. I'm very happy with the quality and good looks of this rondel. I would have given a 5 star rating but don't really care for the sheath it came with. The leather is fairly thin, the red finish wears off and had what seems to be a never ending supply of talc (or some other powder) that comes out of it. I plan to make a nice wood core sheath for it and toss the other one! Very nice dagger though.

After a few disapointing purchases from MRL, I came across this gem.It is very attractives and fully capable of fullfilling its intended purpose. Thick back spine and spike like tip would punch through most armor of its time. Great job on this one.

First of all well done Windlass for getting the weight, thickness and dimensions right. The blade is an impressive 1/4" thick. The hilt solid and tang peened over. The blade fits the hilt snug with no gaps. Lastly a nice red leather scabbard with brass fittings. My only small issues is that the scabbard was a bit loose so I glued a leather "shim" inside to solve the problem. David Cellini, WMA Student and A&A collector
