Landsknecht Brass Hilt Katzbalger Dagger

This handmade dagger is a recreation of an original 16th century German dagger with a hilt in the form of the iconic Katzbalger sword. It was likely once a trusted companion of one of the famed German or Swiss Landsknecht mercenaries. The dagger makes an excellent companion piece to a full size Katzbalger sword to complete a Landsknecht ensemble, though it is a fetchingly elegant and deadly dagger in its own right. The blade is hand forged from resilient C60 high carbon steel which is stoutly mounted into a fine cast hilt of solid polished brass. The blade is anchored into the hilt by peening it over the pommel for a tough overall construction.

Included with the dagger is a sheath which is crafted from thick high quality genuine leather which is completed with a brass chape, locket and brass hanging rings.
