Dagger - suitable for stage combat.
A stage-combat dagger - based around an old epee with a broken blade
that has sat in my Dad's fencing bag for at least 40 years!
The pommel is original, and guard is steel strip hot-bent around a 3"
pipe. I cut the broken end down to the right length, and
added a blob of weld to the tip for safety.
The original French grip has been replaced with a paracord wrap over a
stainless tube.
Non-traditional combined scabbard and frog, to carry the weapon at the
small of the back, with a left-hand draw.
The engraving (by Sarah) on the scabbard translates to,
"Quench the fires of your pernicious rage" [Romeo & Juliet]
