Tods Workshop | Medieval Rondel Dagger - THE ORIGINAL @tods_workshop | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
For as long as I remember I have loved the A726 Rondel dagger in the Wallace Collection. It is a beautiful and iconic dagger and an absolute favourite of mine, but they have also wondered how well they work, so I have made three films about this dagger and this is the second. There first film in this series "Making the rondel' can be found here youtu.be/R8cGQ6ztao4
Luckily I got to handle and measure the dagger and luckily I have the skills to make one - so I did. In the first film you get to see every step of the manufacture.
This is the second and I take my dagger to the Wallace Collection and compare it with the original with Dr Toby Capwell and in the third I hand this dagger over to Matt Easton who mercilessly attacks fabric, mail and plate armour samples to see how easy or hard they are to defeat
You can find budget reproductions of this dagger here todcutler.com/collections/medieval-daggers-and-large-knives/products/wallace-rondel-dagger-tc101
