Ive Got Myself A Rondelle Its A

style of late medieval dagger and what makes a Randall Arundel I imagine you might be crying at this point well. One thing about them is that they all have a long, thin, very wickedly pointed stabby blade. I say wickedly pointed. This one is actually blunt because it’s designed for fencing against actual people. I don’t want to kill but the real things came to a wicked point.

They Have Quite A Variety Of Cross-Sections.

However, some of them will blunt on one side and sharp on the other. Sometimes they were cruciform or daimond in section Diamonds. I think is the most common but we don’t actually have vast numbers of surviving examples of this knife and much of the evidence we have for them comes from pictures and particularly effigies of knights on tombs carved in stone a lot. Most of the evidence as far as I know for their scabbards and fittings come from tombs.

parts to the guard, the pommel and the front guard Now. In this case, you can see that the guard is considerably bigger than the pommel, but sometimes it’s the other way around or sometimes they’re the same size and they’re not always so bagel or so round This one as you can see is wavy. I got it because I just thought them you know it was slightly more interesting shape than round. Although I have noticed that if you weren’t if you’re in a fight the blade of an attacker does inevitably end up in the trough between two of the waves. So this gives me a very very tiny amount.

blade away, but the difference is very. Slight and if if it was significant if it when you gave you a a significant advantage then presumably they will all have had them and by and large they don’t. I think it’s largely decorative Another thing that is common to pretty much. All of them is this flat pommel, which you’ll notice is not weighted. It’s quite small and flat.

Its Not A Counterweight.

It is just a plate for hammering the thing home. Now my conjecture is that these are designed specifically for dealing with foes in armor. They are late medieval so they are for dealing in a battle situation with guys wearing a lot of armor now the standard way that you fight with it with a dagger at least as I understand it is that in defense or come near me and I’ll cut you and then you’ve stabbed very quickly in attack because. A stab will finish someone off very very quickly and efficiently and then you can go to the next opponent, but if my opponent is wearing a full suit of armor, then if I threaten to cut him as he comes in at me, he’s not gonna be too impressed because well I can’t cut through armor with a cut from a knife like this so maybe these are print.

Ibly For Getting Really Up-Close And Stabbing

really really hard. They’re often shown being held this way round rather than this way around and a reason for that is that if a my opponent is in armor. I’m In order to get very close to him get a grip put this somewhere vital and then punch it home and that’s where this flat plate on the back comes into its own because then I can really Ram it home and through some weak point in his groin armpit or I slit or something like that finish the job so that we quite brutal quite close and quite nasty, and I think that that’s what these were for they are sometimes shown being worn by civilians, but that doesn’t really mean all that much people often will Swank around with something to look cool by and large. This is a soldier’s tool and it’s like I say Stabby and Northie Lindy Mesh.
