SWISS DAGGER Limited Edition
The Swiss Dagger was a common weapon of the Swiss
d. pikemen in the 15th and 16th century. The dagger, also
c.
known as Baselard, was usually not issued as ordinance weapons, but had to be
purchased privately by the soldiers and then served as a secondary weapon. Handpicked cherry wood is used
for the handles of the dagger. The dagger blade, sharpened and pointed on both sides, already had a diamond-
shaped cross-section in historical models, because this construction proved to be extremely stable and effective. It is made
of the classic carbon steel C75. The satin-finished blade is marked with the original Böker blade logo from the 1930s. The
logo and the individual serial number guarantee the authenticity of the knife. Comes with an elaborate metal sheath.
