Dagger Hilts

Dagger Hilts and associated short blades

 

Our steel hilts are currently available in several models, finishes, and guard types. This allows for a range of customization to meet the buyer's requirements. All hilts come in either a factory blue black or wire brushed gray finish. Rod tang blades are mounted with wooden grips banded at both ends to eliminate splitting. These come in a natural wood or black stain finish. Other colors are available on request. All hilts are mounted with pommels of appropriate weight for the selected blade. Customers may request a lighter or heavier pommel. We currently produce two perforation patterns. The first of these is based on a Pappenheimer rapier in the collection of the Cleveland Museum Of Art.

Rondel Hilts

Above is a photo of two of our rondel dagger hilts, one in brushed gray steel with an unstained grip and the other in the blue black finish. Our hilt consists simply of two steel rondels and a steel banded grip. The rondels measure two inches in diameter. This is small enough to allow for a complete range of motion of the wrist in thrusting and parrying. Hardwood grips are five inches long and taper from a diameter of one and one eighth of an inch at the pommel end, down to seven eighths of an inch at the guard end. Grips are slightly oval shaped and flattened on the sides to allow for better edge control. Rondel hilts are sold mounted on one of our Safeflex dagger blades.

Prices are as follows:
Rondel Hilt with Safeflex 15/6 dagger blade (any finish) $100 US ($95 foreign) 1.43pounds = .65kgs
