## Description

Product Description The Hand-And-A-Half Dagger is a scaled down version of the companion sword in size and almost identical in appearance. The dagger offers a 13" long blade designed to cut and thrust, yet be sturdy enough to stand in for a buckler in defensive roles. Every Hand-and-a-Half Dagger reflects the highest standards in workmanship and materials and comes fully sharpened and ready for battle. Its long handle is suitable for both a one or two handed grip and is fashioned out of wood covered in black leather. To balance the long blade we have capped the butt with a beautiful "scent stopper" pommel which can be a lethal weapon in its own right. To safely house their keen blades we have also included very attractive scabbards made of wood covered with black leather with a steel throat and chape.

Review: Very Cool and Long Blade. - Very long double edge dagger style blade. Arrived sharp however I do use a stone to make it deadly. Great quality and looks nice though usefulness is questionable. Very cool. If you want a blade like this then this is truly an outstanding blade with Cold Steel quality. Recommended for cool factor alone.
Review: We live in an absurd world - next day fully sharpened foot long daggers - I waffled on ordering this for a bit. I mean, when am I going to use a double edged dagger with a foot long blade? Am I going to defend the house from the axe wielding brigands from outside of the kingdom? Am I going to protect my wares from a cloaked thief? Let's be real, there's no practical reason to own this in this day and age. Don't get me wrong, you COULD use it for a lot - it's well made and strong, feels good in the hand, but it's certainly not the best tool for anything outside of being a dork who's always wanted a big dagger. So I finally decided I'd acknowledge that part of me. And I'm glad I did - it's completely nuts that you can get a well made dagger/sword like this in a day or two. It's covered in some sort of protective cosmoline or similar, but it cleans up very easy. I'm taking the advice of another reviewer here and applying carnauba wax to fully protect it, but for right now, I've just put a lighter protective oil on it. With the steel it's using, you'll probably want something - it's not going to corrode in front of your eyes, but you can't just neglect it either. You don't realize how sharp it is until you clean off the cosmoline, and oooh boy is it ready to go with a nice utility edge that isn't hair shaving sharp, but that's not what you do with these daggers - they were meant to have a killing (i.e. "utiility") edge that would maintain it's edge better under heavy use. So what I'm saying is that it comes "ready to use for its intended purpose." But again, it's a dagger with a foot long blade. And sure, you could press it into utility service and open those cardboard boxes in a dramatic way if you were so inclined, but it's probably not the best idea. I suppose you could use it as home defense, you could probably get a good stab in while you are being laughed at for brandishing a comically large medieval dagger, but again, probably not the best choice. So why do I have it? Because I always wanted one. That's it. And now that I have it, I'm mostly unsheathing it and looking at it while thinking one word - "Awesome." Anyways, while this is awesome, I'm determined to not be "the dagger guy," and if you get this, don't be "that guy" either - Don't bring this into a public space unless it's specifically a place where you'd expect a fully sharpened medieval dagger. Don't use it for yard maintenance in front of the neighbors. Don't carry it publicly "just because you can." Doing this just tells the world that you are both dangerous and ignorant. If you want to be those things, keep that in a private space, lest you want the bards to spin tales that will forever haunt you (i.e. you get known as "that weirdo with the dagger that nobody should really be near"). And that's the best case public outcome - let's be real, you aren't going to do honorable and noble deeds with this, you aren't going to defend your castle - you're probably going to stab cardboard and whack at some weeds, or just do what I do and take it out to make sure it still feels awesome to have. Nerd. 100% recommended for us nerds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ weight, balance and speed
*by M***N on February 3, 2012*

very well balanced blade because of the steel pommel. The blade is relatively long compared to a knife blade, but still much shorter than a sword blade. Steel is 1055 for ductility and toughness for purposes of defense and blocking. Can be swung very fast and is very lively in the hand. Sharp enough for what it is, but not knife sharp, which is exactly what I would expect for a dagger of this type. Sheath is well made and attractive, with steel around the opening to ensure that the blade will be retained in the sheath even when the blade is repeatedly removed. Long handle facilitates a variety of different grips, and for switching grips smoothly with one hand. Very pointed tip suited for stabbing because of the double edged cruciform shape. Long quillions facilitate the defensive role of this blade. Excellent weapon.
