With off-hand fighting in mind, this 26.5in dagger gives you the real leverage when you find yourself up close. From parrying sword blows to closing the distance, or pushing opponents in close range, this is the kind of weapon that lets you stay sharp, in control, and one step ahead of your adversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dagger has\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan translate=\"no\" lang=\"en\" class=\"notranslate\"\u003eEpic Armoury\u003c\/span\u003e's Vanguard construction, so you get a soft PU foam blade combined with an abusive PU foam hilt. It's tough, safe, and designed to handle brutal abuse. What makes it stand out, though, is the additional stiffness at its core.

It's available in two styles: one with a black grip for a sleek, vintage look, and one with a light wood finish that adds a touch of flair. Both feature a polished steel-colored blade and crossguard, so they fit into any costume or character idea without hesitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a sidearm; it's a combat device that will enhance your capabilities.
