Product description

The ear dagger or main gauche was employed in the left hand whilst the rapier was wielded in the right. The dagger is based on 17th-century originals, and features a thick diamond-shaped blade crafted from 1065 high carbon steel, with a finely shaped downturned crossguard with decorative finials. These could also be utilised to catch the opponent's blade — even if only briefly — so as to permit an opportunity for a counterattack. The grip is wrapped in steel, and the matching scabbard is covered in soft black leather.
