Nice daggers!
Does the bollock-style handle serve any special purpose? It's blade is also very interesting since it is asymmetrical. |

the nuts of the Ballock handle (it is the original wooden handle on this dagger) stop the hand from slanting off similar as a pair of guillons. the blade is an Armour piercing blade with a reinforced diamant shaped point. the blade is asymmetrical so it makes it possible to use 2 hands for the killing stab. best regards |

The ballock dagger looks fantastic, indeed. The blade is peculiar but not unheard of in this type of weapons.
Now the other dagger... well, it's just my opinion, but it suspiciously looks like a put-together with what could be a genuine medieval pommel, a crossguard about which I couldn't pass a reliable judgement without examining it more closely, and a blade that looks like a cut-down blade from a 18th c. smallsword, down to the style of inlaid decoration... maybe it's just me... |
