Disc daggers came into fashion in the 14th century and enjoyed great popularity among many population groups. They were used by farmers and merchants, as well as by mercenaries and knights. They could be used as both a useful tool and an (auxiliary) weapon. Rondel daggers were typically worn on the hip.

The following image comes from Thalhoffer's fechtbuch (1467) and shows how rondel daggers were used in hand-to-hand combat.
