The Baselard is inspired by a type of blade that became popular in the late 14th century all over Western and Central Europe. It features a comfortable and secure H shaped hilt and is one of the most elegant daggers of the period. The basic model of this dagger features a decorative steel rivet on the bottom of the handle. However, you can order a version with steel or brass cladding which served to reinforce the wooden quillons. This version costs an extra 400 CZK. The blade can be ordered either in the length of 25, 30 or 35cm. It has a 6 mm round fiberglass core, which ends 6 cm in front of the tip, and for safer stabbing and durability, the tip is reinforced with Kevlar fabric. Please note that the Soft Daggers are not suitable for regular LARP combat, or parrying blows from heavier foam weapons such as swords, polearms and hafted weapons. Soft Daggers have a thinner 6mm round core and are designed for light touch theatrical stabbing and slashing. If you want to do regular LARP fencing with daggers, please choose some of our Fencing daggers, which feature a stronger core. You can also order a leather sheath for the dagger. You can choose from seven different leather colors. The sheath can be finished with a simple leather tip, or it can be fitted with a steel or brass chape. The leather sheaths are 4mm thick and they are hand sewn and dyed in our workshop in the Czech Republic. They can be tied to the belt with a string on the back of the sheath. The length of the sheath is made to fit the length of the dagger blade you choose.
