Daggers

This is my first edged weapon from MR, so I was very excited considering the quality that I was expecting. I misread the dimensions on this, so this turned out to be much larger than I thought it would be. No complaints on the size though.

1st, the dagger. It essentially looks as it does in the photo. Since this is handmade you know to expect minor differences and I'm not disappointed. It is amazingly light to hold and even though it appears to have been sharpened, the cutting edge is rather dull, not a big deal. Sharpening a knife is rather easy. It does have a razor sharp point and easily pierced many cardboard boxes I have. I haven't tried it on anything thicker yet as I don't want to risk damaging the tip. Based on how sturdy the knife feels, I have no doubt this would pierce clothing and flesh quite well if I was forced to use it for self-defense.

2nd, the sheath. Since this is my first experience with old-world craftsmanship when it comes to medieval styled weapons, I don't have much to compare it to. The knife sits loosely in the sheath and the strap is the only thing that will hold it in place if you decide to walk around with this on your belt. Otherwise I feel this would fall out very easily. The sheath's construction seems decent, but I'm unsure at this point how well I would rate the quality since I haven't had the time to use it on a day-to-day basis.

Overall as a combo I'm giving this five stars.

Well-made handle, hilt and blade, which was very sharp except for an inch near the tip. Altogether, it's a great knife for advertised or other (probably) light use.

A great dagger and a must have compliment to the Accolade sword.

A wonderful item, everything one would expect for a military main gauche. The decorative work and construction is rock solid. Love the scabbard too, love the blue!

Very good looking piece, good weight to it, and sharp enough to take the hair off my arm straight from the box.   Haven't done much with it so I can't speak to its durability but on looks alone it's a winner.

A beautiful and functional piece of work.  I would recommend this to anyone interested in a very good knife or this period/culture.

I bought this dagger to co with my Bosworth Longsword and I am thrilled with both of them.  Beautiful weight and edge!

Perfect compliment to the Musketeer Rapier. Very elegant and well crafted. 2 thumbs up.

A worthy addition to my collection!

Heavy, meaty, ready for battle. Something that is worthy of a knight. This is a thing of beauty. The pictures don't do it justice. The bluing really sets the look of the contrasting bright corners of the blade. The dark brown handle does the same for the brass studs.

This was the first Cold Steel product that I have purchased and I was impressed. The factory packaging was great and offered excellent protection. The fit and finish is very good.
