Overview
Castille Armory - Single Ring Dagger
The Economy Single Ring Dagger from Castille Armory is a great companion piece to a rapier for a complete duelist's set. Made entirely in the USA from US-sourced steel and constructed in Castille's Oregon workshop, this dagger is both an excellent training or sparring dagger at a great value price which was made possible by Castille economizing their production without making sacrifices to practical quality and usability. The well tempered 5160 spring steel is rounded and rebated with a spatulate tip and the guard is made from tough and durable 100 Grade steel. The dagger can be dismantled easily to allow for replacement of components.

The Maker
Castille Armory
In 2013 Sam Kovic decided to jump in head first and take his love for the art of defense to a higher level. Zenergy Metal Works, LLC was founded and Castille Armory was brought to life.
What started off as a garage-based hobby turned into a full-fledged business in 2013 with the rental of a small shop in Central Point, Oregon. Castille quickly outgrew that 2000 sq ft space and moved to a larger shop in Medford, and then we outgrew that building and started renting the one next door, and a few years later the one next door to that! Finally in 2018 we made the jump to a much larger shop in Phoenix, Oregon where we all live happily under one roof.
Since 2013, Castille Armory has entered the international arena and orders have far surpassed the output of a hobby shop. Sam has had to pass on his knowledge and techniques to his crew, a band of talented individuals who share the deep love for all things swords. This personal passion keeps Castille Armory moving forward. Because quality and attention to detail are everything in a niche market, everyone who works at Castille Armory also fences—mostly because we love to—but it’s that hands-on approach that means we designed your sword as if it were our own. If it’s not good enough for us to use in tournament, it’s not good enough for you.
