This dagger was developed specifically for HEMA fencing, seeing the growing demand for this fencing tool.

The dagger allows for very easy fencing, the weapon seems almost weightless due to the close center of gravity.

Excellent value for the money
This is the most cost effective sail dagger on the market. It is plain and utilitarian, but does the job well.
