Summary
Historical German-style rondel dagger from the 16th century.
Overall lenght ~420 mm., blade lenght ~ 300 mm.
This is a specialized military dagger, widely used by infantrymen, including the famous Landsknechts. Its defining feature is a sturdy triangular blade designed for thrusting and penetrating the gaps in plate armor. The model's relatively simple decoration reflects the typical sidearm of a common soldier, prioritizing function over ornate embellishment.
The model includes two versions for the pommel .
Large Pommel: Historically more accurate and common.
Small Pommel: Offers a more aesthetically balanced and elegant profile.
The model includes a 4mm axial hole running through the grip, blade tang, and pommel. This is designed for inserting a metal rod during assembly to significantly enhance the durability and rigidity of the printed weapon.
A matching scabbard is provided, designed to be wrapped or covered with thin (artificial) leather for a finished look.
For best results and increased strength, it is recommended to print the blade with at least 4 perimeter walls.
