Guingate Dagger
This Blackfriars Dagger is inspired by a sword that was found in the mudbanks of the River Thames near Bull Wharf, Blackfriars. The sword is dated to around 1340-50 and is a typical knight's sword of the period. It is now held in the Royal Armouries collection. Our Blackfriars Dagger has solid brass hilt fittings and a polished (camel) bone grip. The blade is hand forged from steel and is housed in a leather scabbard with belt loop and brass fittings. The matching Blackfriars Sword is also available for purchase. This item has a blunt blade and is manufactured for display only.
