Overview
14th Century Rondel Dagger - Deepeeka
This Medieval 14th Century Rondel Dagger is not merely an attractive sidearm but also a dagger designed for capably defeating foes both on and off the battlefield. The slim design is easy to wear at all times and the thin blade is designed to penetrate into the weak points in an armored defense - or through thick cloaks and clothes in a self defense situation when in town.
The blade is forged from high carbon steel and it is securely mounted into a hilt with a spiralled grip of carved wood which is surmounted by on rondels of steel. The rondels serve to couch the hand and give it something to push against to greatly increase penetrative power. Included is a sheath of thick, stitched leather with an integrated belt loop.

Q&A
Questions from the community
Q What is the blade made of, and is it sharp? Common Question
The blade is forged from C60 high carbon steel, a tough, shock-resistant alloy well suited to a thrusting dagger of this type. It ships with a blunt edge, so it's built for handling, display, and training rather than cutting.
Q What is the handle made of and how is it put together? Common Question
The grip is a spiral-carved wood handle, shown in the photographs with a reddish-brown, rope-like twist pattern. It's flanked by steel rondel fittings at the guard and pommel, which brace the hand and let you push into a thrust with more control.
Q How is the pommel attached, and is it durable? Common Question
The pommel is peened, meaning the tang is hammered over the pommel to mechanically lock the whole assembly together rather than relying on glue or a threaded nut. This is a traditional, durable method that holds up well under handling.
Q Does it come with a sheath, and what is it made of? Common Question
Yes, it includes a stitched leather sheath with an integrated belt loop, shaped to the blade and shown with visible edge stitching and a fitted chape at the tip. It's built for carry, not for long-term blade storage.
Q What is this dagger good for? Common Question
This is a reproduction of a 14th century rondel dagger, a design historically used for close combat and self-defense, with a slim profile meant to find gaps in armor or get through heavy clothing. As a Battle Ready piece with a blunt edge, it's well suited to display, reenactment handling, and historical study rather than live cutting.
Q How does the balance feel in the hand? Common Question
The point of balance sits about 1 inch from the guard, close to the hand. For a dagger this length, that keeps the weight concentrated near the grip, giving quick, controlled handling suited to thrusting technique.
Q How do I care for this dagger? Common Question
Wipe the carbon steel blade down after handling and keep a light coat of oil on it to prevent rust, since C60 steel will corrode if left damp or bare. Store the dagger out of its leather sheath for the long term, as the sheath can trap moisture against the blade, and keep it somewhere dry.
Q Where is this dagger made? Common Question
It's made in India.
Q Does the blade have any decoration? Common Question
Yes, the forte of the blade near the guard carries etched scrollwork and foliate engraving, visible in the photographs, while the rest of the blade has a plain polished finish running to the point.

Often paired together
Very nice in person. The scabbard is of much better quality than how it looks in the pictures. It is fairly comfortable in the hand. I opted to not have it sharped, so the blade is dull but still have a decent point (as a thrusting weapon should).
