Hanwei Dagger Historical Main Gauche Wood Grip

A wonderful match to Hanwei’s Wood Grip Rapier, this Wood Grip Main Gauche provides an authentically-styled parrying weapon. Translated from the French 'left-hand,' the main-gauche has traditionally been used to assist in defense as an accompaniment to a longer weapon wielded with the other hand. With a high-carbon steel blade spanning 11 inches (27.9 cm), this slick piece is highly functional and dynamic, weighing in at 9 ounces (255 grams).
The look of this parrying dagger reflects Hanwei’s traditional and historic make, with the simple wood grip typical of main-gauche swords from the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance. The hilt, crafted from stainless steel for reduced maintenance requirements, is similarly authentic in its simplicity and durable construction. Both its design and crafting make this main-gauche an essential partner for your single-handed sword.
