Here are a few Spanish daggers ... There are a lot more at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/265923552973872432/ ....In this case I will show a few 17th to 19th Century variants with the full sail hilt...The trick when fencing was,amongst other things, to have each weapon on a different plain so as to avoid having both swept aside with an opponents sweep stroke...
