Q&A
Questions from the community
Q What is this dagger made of, and how is it put together? Common Question
The blade is forged from C60 high carbon steel and the hilt is cast bronze. The tang passes through the hilt and is secured with dual brass rivets, a traditional fastening method for Celtic-style hilts. It comes with a leather scabbard, thickly stitched for durability.
Q Does the blade ship sharp? Common Question
No, the blade ships unsharpened, which makes it well suited for display, reenactment, and collecting as a representation of Celtic bladed weapons.
Q What does the bronze hilt look like up close? Common Question
The hilt is cast in a bronze or copper tone with a ribbed, segmented grip and rounded, ball-shaped terminals on both the pommel and crossguard. One side of the fittings incorporates a sculpted face or head motif, giving the piece a distinctly figural, ancient-Celtic look.
Q What is the scabbard like, and how should the blade be cared for? Common Question
The scabbard is thick, hand-stitched leather with a whipstitch edge running along both sides, built to protect the blade in handling and transport. Leather holds moisture over time, so for long-term storage the blade is best kept out of the scabbard, wiped down and lightly oiled after handling, and kept in a dry place to prevent rust.
Q How large is this piece - is it more a dagger or a short sword? Common Question
At 20 1/4" overall with a 15" blade, it sits at the long end of the dagger category, approaching short sword proportions. That length and an unsharpened edge make it well suited for display and reenactment representing Celtic-era blades.
Q What does the point of balance tell me about handling? Common Question
The point of balance sits 1 1/4" from the guard, keeping most of the weight close to the hilt. That gives it a steady, controlled feel in hand, fitting for a dagger meant to be carried, displayed, and handled rather than used for fast point-work.
Q What does "Blemished Grade" mean for this piece? Common Question
This dagger is sold at Blemished Grade, meaning it carries a minor finish imperfection from manufacturing rather than being a showroom-perfect example. The construction, materials, and fittings are the same as the standard piece.
Q Can this dagger be used for test cutting or sparring? Common Question
As it ships, this dagger is unsharpened and intended as a display and collector's piece representing Celtic design rather than a cutting or sparring weapon. Turning it into a live-edge cutter would require professional sharpening, which isn't part of how it's offered.
Q What is the grip like to hold? Common Question
The grip measures 3 1/4" and is cast in bronze with a ribbed, segmented surface, giving a firm, grooved purchase for a single-hand hold that matches the rest of the hilt's decorative casting.
