The Shell Guard style "Main Gauche" is a parrying dagger designed to be used in conjunction with a longer blade. Its lengthy solid steel quillions and shell guard protect the users hand from incoming attacks while offering plenty of leverage for deflecting, parrying and temporarily binding the opponent's blade. The Shell Guard Dagger is beautifully balanced, with a sturdy pommel counter balancing its stiff and sharp 12.5" blade. Lustrously blued to a deep black luster, with an aged leather grip, it's as good looking as it is effective!
