De profundis
“Stare into the abyss long enough, the abyss stares back”
– F. Nietzsche
Cuore dell’Oceano Dagger was inspired by the inv. A535 preserved in the Wallace Collection. The blue stingray skin and the exquisite finishing gives it a powerful effect. This is not a dagger for everyone, but the scholars of Vincenzo Saviolo’s teachings could find in it the perfect high end companion. Cuore dell’Oceano Dagger can pair with a beautiful Military Rapier.

A Star among Stars
“S’i’ fosse foco, ardere’ il mondo;”
– Cecco Angiolieri, Sonetti
La Splendente is inspired by a Hermann Historica’s original, Auction 61 – 2.05.2011. and it was our first high end work, dating back to 2015. The dagger was entirely forged, etched and polished by hand. This fine piece has an iron handle, and it is called scheibendolch or sfondagiaco for its peculiar anatomy, that had the purpose of entering in the parts left uncovered by the plate armour, breaking the chainmail.

The French Lily
Io dirò vero, e tu ’l ridì tra ’ vivi:
l’angel di Dio mi prese, e quel d’inferno
gridava: “O tu del ciel, perché mi privi?
– Dante Alighieri, Commedia, Purgatorio V
Guillaume de Durfort was a french condottiero leading the guelph army during the Battle of Campaldino in 1289. He was killed by a ghibelline “quadrello”, a crossbow arrow, that hit him in the eye. His tomb, our reference, is located in Santissima Annunziata Cathedral in Florence. The sheath and the handle are in a wonderful french blue, with fleurs-de-lys. The pommel is based on the crescent one found in Perthshire (Scotland), also compared to the specimen in Museo del Bargello in Florence. These are of a later period compared to Durfort’s reconstruction, but taking inspiration from these was the most coherent choice. The blade and guard were taken from the so called “Dante’s dagger” found in Campaldino and preserved in Dante’s House in Florence. This work was possible thanks to a wide research supported by the counseling of Dr.Giovanni Rotondi, Il Gatto e la Volpe Historical Jewelery.

A Thrust from Above
The Castelvecchio Baselard, with the typical H grip structure, is double edged and with exquisite black horn or precious wooden grip. The “U” grip form allows the thumb to handle the baselard in the classical “sopramano” position. Ewart Oakeshott, the famous arms collector and historian, maybe exaggerating a little, said “Hardly a picture painted between about 1300 and 1420 is without one visible somewhere.”
