Rondel Dagger

Rondel Dagger
 
The Rondel dagger, a stiff-bladed weapon, emerged in Europe during the late Middle Ages (from the 14th century onwards). It was a versatile tool used by a wide range of people, from merchants to knights. This dagger was typically worn at the waist and served multiple purposes, from a utility tool to a side-arm in battle or jousting tournaments.
The accompanying image from Thalhoffers-Fechtbuch (1467) illustrates how rondel daggers were employed in close combat.
