Historical Context and Usage
Daggers of this type were indispensable companions for every knight in the Middle Ages. They served not only as a backup weapon in close-quarters combat but also as a status symbol expressing membership in an order. The Knights Templar, or the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, were among the most powerful Christian military orders of the Middle Ages, and their iconic red cross on a white field commanded respect throughout Europe and the Holy Land.
Historical Interest: The Templar seal originally depicted two knights on a single horse to symbolize their poverty, although the order eventually became one of the wealthiest institutions of its era.
Care Instructions and Safety Warnings
As this is a decorative replica, the dagger is not intended for practical fencing, cutting tests, or contact combat. It is classified as Class C according to the battle-ready classification (product without a guarantee for functional use). For more details on classifications, please visit: Classification of battle-ready weapons.
How to care for your dagger:
- Regularly wipe the blade with a dry cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.
- Although the steel is stainless, we recommend an occasional light coating of gun oil to maintain its visual quality over the long term.
- Do not expose the dagger to excessive moisture and never use it for prying or striking hard objects – this could damage the construction or cause the blade to snap.
