Knightly Rondel Dagger

Rondel daggers were a popular choice on the battlefield for hundreds of years. Their slender yet stiff blades made it easy to pierce maille and find the gaps in plate armor. The simple round guards give the holder a firm grip.

Rondel daggers, like the knightly model, are utilitarian and combat optimized. It still bears some decoration, befitting one of noble class, but less than one would normally see due to the nature of its intended use. The blade's cross-section is triangular and incredibly stiff. It features a simple yet elegant spiral fluted walnut handle as well as matching steel guards with filework to match the handle and blackened to avoid rust.
