The "Black Fencer" Dagger Version 4.0 is a high-quality simulator designed for practitioners of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA). Inspired by the "main-gauche" daggers of the 17th century, it offers an authentic training experience while ensuring the safety of practitioners.

Design and materials:

The blade of this dagger is made from a specially developed nylon alloy to reproduce the characteristics of a steel blade. With low flexibility, it faithfully imitates the behavior of a real historical dagger. The wide guard, equipped with a protective ring at the front, provides optimal protection for the hand, an essential feature of historical "main-gauche" daggers.

The pommel and guard made of stainless steel not only provide authentic weight and balance, but also exceptional durability. The handle is designed to offer a secure and comfortable grip, essential during intense training.

Benefits for HEMA practitioners:

This dagger is perfectly suited to the study of historical combat techniques involving the use of a secondary weapon. Its light weight (580 g) and excellent balance (balance point 4.5 cm from the guard) allow for precise and quick handling, essential characteristics for parry and counterattack techniques.

Designed to be used by both right-handed and left-handed people, this dagger is ideal for training in rapier and dagger combat techniques, or as a main weapon in close combat exercises.

Improvements in Version 4.0:

• Monobloc construction for increased strength
• Pommel fixed by a steel rod to prevent any rotation
• Improved overall finish quality
• New handle covered with resistant and comfortable rope
• Added reinforcement at the guard for better impact resistance
• Redesigned guard, more robust and rustproof
