Renaissance Dagger with Long Grip
This all-steel Renaissance dagger features a long, tapered triangular blade crafted from EN45 high carbon steel. Designed with a reinforced ricasso and a sharply tapered point, it excels at penetrating armor and finding the vulnerable gaps between plates. The elongated grip allows the wielder to use one or two hands, providing the force needed to deliver a precise thrust. With its authentic construction and battle-ready design, this dagger is as functional as it is historically accurate.
Piercing daggers of this type were commonly used during the late medieval and Renaissance periods. Known as misericordes, these weapons were often used by knights to deliver the coup de grâce — the mercy stroke — to a fallen foe too gravely injured to survive. While their association with mercy killings gave them a somber role on the battlefield, they were also formidable in close combat, capable of thrusting through mail and slipping between armor joints. This dagger is a faithful reproduction of such a historical weapon.
