Description

Sinistro Parrying Dagger: The Roguish One

The Sinistro Parrying Dagger is the perfect sidesword or rapier companion. Its design reflects the essential functionality of 16th-century historical daggers while integrating modern upgrades for sport practice.

Parrying daggers, also known as main-gauche (left-hand daggers), were pivotal in the late Renaissance, offering both offense and defense during duels and training. In the 16th and 17th centuries, sword and dagger combat dominated European fencing traditions, requiring mastery of both offensive and defensive techniques.

In fact, parrying daggers are a very versatile weapon, as they cover centuries of the history of fencing, with a majority of fencing masters like Manciolino, Marozzo, Fabris, Saviolo, Capoferro and Giganti emphasizing the dagger’s role in parrying and trapping the opponent’s blade while enabling quick counterattacks.

The Sinistro Parrying Dagger features curved quillons for hand safety and is available in two configurations to suit varying fencing styles. The long version emphasizes flexibility and reach, ideal for technical thrusts and counterattacks. In contrast, the shorter blade trades a part of the flexibility, enabling stronger blade control and defensive actions in close binds.

Fully compatible with our Modular Sword System™, the Sinistro Parrying Dagger offers ease of maintenance, transport, and customization. Its versatile design makes it an essential in your fencing toolkit, for training rapier and dagger techniques and compete in tournaments.

FEATURES:

Light and versatile: Around 550 grams, it adapts to various rapier and dagger styles and masters.
Heat-treated crossguard and blade: Ensures longevity and resilience.
Curved quillons: Inspired by historical examples, they guide and deflect strikes efficiently for superior hand protection.
Choose your flex: The longer blade prioritizes safe flexibility for thrusts, while the shorter version enhances structural strength for defensive actions.
Fully dismountable: Simplifies maintenance, transport, replacement and customization.
Comfortable ricasso: Rounded ricasso enhances grip comfort.
Blunt edges, high flexibility and thickened tip: Prioritizes safety in HEMA training and competition
Historical design with modern upgrades: Faithfully inspired by 16th-century parrying daggers, optimized for Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), historical fencing, and reenactment.

The Sinistro Parrying Dagger serves as an indispensable ally, perfectly suited for fencers who practice both sidesword or rapier and dagger techniques. Ideal for Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), historical fencing, stage fencing, and film productions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Handmade Character: Variations between items of the same type, asymmetries, edge misalignments, slight variations in static and dynamic parameters, and in grip color are inherent to the handmade production process.
Image Disclaimer: Product images are for reference only; actual appearance may vary due to differences in screen settings and display characteristics like resolution and color accuracy.
Warranty Notice: These variations do not affect the functionality of the sword and are not considered imperfections or grounds for warranty claims.

CARE TIPS

Blade and Hilt Maintenance: After use, always clean the blade, pommel, and crossguard with oils like Gunex or WD40.
Grip Care: Avoid applying oil to a cord grip. Instead, gently clean it by rubbing with a cloth soaked in a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.
Leather Grip Care: Keep your leather grip nourished with leather oil or grease, but remember— protective products will darken the shade over time.
Rust Prevention: Promptly address any rust, as it can penetrate beneath the surface of the steel, causing damage.
Storage Guidelines: Store your sword in a dry environment and away from damp gear.
Damage Prevention: Always round nicks or dents with a flat file to prevent breakages.
