Tod Cutler – Late 15th Century Rothenburg Bollock Dagger

This reproduction from Tod Cutler of a middling to high-level status Bollock dagger takes its design from an original within the Rothenburg Collection. It is a long-bladed dagger intended for war or self defense and would be right at home at the belt of a professional man of arms or a knight. The blade is quite thick, rigid and quadrangular with a highly raised diamond cross section and is clearly intended to be a dagger optimized for punturing and thrusting, though it could capably cut as well. The grip is likewise a matched diamond cross section which flares widely at the end to ensure a very solid handhold intended to keep the dagger in hand when meeting substantial resistance in a thrust.

The blade of the dagger is crafted from tempered EN45 high carbon steel. The hilt is carved and polished hardwood (Ash) and the hilt accents are of antiqued brass. Included with the dagger is a dual-layer sheath of genuine and high quality vegetable tanned leather with a hand stitched construction. The sheath is capped with a matching antiqued brass tip and an integrated drawstring to attach it to your belt.
