      Style!

      Alternatively, they may be used to catch and bind an enemy’s blade. If you can control the movement of the enemy’s weapon, they’re all but at your mercy.

          On black background, he looks like he has comically short legs instead of him crouching

        You need some REALLY good aim to trap a sword right against the tip of your punching dagger. I don’t think that ever really happens.

        There is a European equivalent called the trident dagger and they’re like 30cm wide: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dague-trident.jpg and they were never really popular because where are you going to put this parrying dagger?

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
