Edged Weaponry and Jewelry
With the "flavor" of the Highlands
During the Middle Ages, and for a couple hundred years thereafter, the quillon dagger was the military and civilian side arm. It was used in conjunction with the rapier, and in tandem they were deadly. This particular one is a bit fancier than most, but it is still a dagger with all intent that a dagger carries.
