Classic Renaissance details on this antique stiletto dagger
The combat vest of this unique collector's item features beautiful, baluster-shaped twisted crossguards and a solid spherical pommel. The grip is furthermore expertly wrapped with braided metal wire. This ensures an excellent grip and an authentic appearance. The slender, hexagonally to diamond-shaped forged blade tapers extremely sharp into a needle point transition.
