Daggers from Dark Knight Armoury
Dark Knight Armoury has a great selection of Functional and Decorative Medieval Daggers. We offer Daggers from just about every Era and Culture, from General Medieval Daggers and Roman Daggers to Viking Daggers and Scottish Dirks, and even Unique Fantasy Daggers. Daggers generally have a double edged blade, unlike a modern knife where only one size is sharp, because they were used as a stabbing or thrusting weapon. Daggers were used in conjunction with a Sword. Swordsmen would use their Sword and Dagger together when fighting or save the Dagger as a back-up weapon in case they lost their Sword. You'll find a great quality Dagger here at Dark Knight Armoury no matter what your looking for, something to use for re-enactments or something to make an awesome display piece and conversation starter.

Roman Daggers |
Our Roman Daggers also called the Pugio, replicate originals that have survived in remarkably good condition in a European museum. The distinct shape of the Pugio blade was excellent for a close quartersfight, and was used throughout the legions. Roman daggers were a basic part of the roman army. When they were in close formation and the sword or spear could not be used, the Roman dagger was the next weapon of choice. |

Scottish Daggers |
The Scottish Dirk was a direct descendent of the Medieval ballock dagger. The grip form began to change, probably sometime in the late 16th century, but soon developed a form that was purely Scottish. For those with a serious interest in the Highlands, a Scottish dagger or Scottish dirk is a must for any collection. Scottish daggers have inscriptions on their ornate hilts and handles that are made of box wood. Scottish daggers are like a work of but beware they are still a true dagger used for stabbing. |

Viking Daggers |
The Viking dagger or called the seax, sax or scramasax, was the universally carried knife in Northern Europe. It was carried and used by the Saxons, Normans, Vikings and Germanic tribes. Viking Dagger use probably dates before the fall of Rome and continues on into the early Middle Ages. The Scramasax found here at Dark Knight Armoury are top quality and feature high carbon steel blades which make them ideal for use in reenacting. |
