Discus dagger, 15th century, with leather sheath

The name discus dagger refers to the round, plate-like guard and the disc-shaped pommel of this late medieval melee weapon. It was often used in conjunction with a fist shield, the buckler . The mostly narrow, but pointed and strong blades were ideal for piercing chain mail and plate armor.

The dagger has a massive wooden base, a handle with steel fittings, and a very sturdy cowhide sheath with a stitched belt loop. The blade is unsharpened.

- Total length: approx. 35cm
