Dague du Désert - 46 cm

Desert Dagger

Loyal soldier or backstabbing priest -- the Epic Armoury Desert Dagger fits either role, carved in stone and hieroglyph. Its shape closely echoes the ceremonial blade unearthed from Tutankhamun's tomb, though nothing extraterrestrial went into making it: expect a fiberglass core wrapped in closed cell foam and sealed under a resilient latex finish, built to shrug off LARP combat. The 28 cm blade carries two edges around a central ridge, skips the crossguard, and ends in a flattened pommel; full grain leather wraps the handle, set off by a single thin gold line. Wear it and you'll look every bit like you belong in the sand.
