Testing a medieval anti-armour dagger

Medieval anti armour dagger ? Really? Yes really. That is exactly what rondel daggers were for, so I set out to make and test one to find out what they really did. For as long as I remember I have loved the A726 Rondel dagger in the Wallace Collection. It is a beautiful and iconic dagger and an absolute favourite of mine, so it became the focus for 3 films; this is the last in the series, where Matt Easton uses the dagger against mail, plate and fabric armour. The first film in this series “Making the rondel’ can be found here In the second and I take my dagger to the Wallace Collection and compare it with the original with Dr Toby Capwell You can find budget reproductions of this dagger here The full range of Tod Cutler weapons here Custom pieces like the dagger made here can be found on these Tods Workshop pages or a Tods Workshop version here Leather work by Lisa Ellett You can find The Wallace Collection here Music by
