This deluxe Prussian dagger is reminiscent of those that are used during King Frederick William IV’s time who ruled in 1840 to 1861. He is the eldest son of King Frederick William III and was known as a steadfast Romanticist.

As you have probably already noticed, King Frederick William’s term was not really during the Medieval Age. But being a fan of the Middle Ages, he has been well known to subscribe to anything from his father’s era. That manifests in the design of daggers during his time; rather, he would prefer to use Medieval daggers during his time.

This deluxe Prussian dagger sold on Dungeonknight.com is one good example of the said Medieval designs. It looks really sophisticated and features an intricately designed handle, not to mention the hand guard that is also very Medieval judging from its black scabbard sheathing.

The history of Prussia seems to reflect on these Medieval daggers. Not to mention, it has a big impact on the history of Germany and other European nations. All these are manifested in artisan works and weaponries that were developed during and after King Frederick William IV’s reign.

Daggers back then were not really often used in battles more than swords were used. But daggers always come in handy during close combats in battle grounds. However, the deluxe Prussian dagger seen on Dungeon Knight is still not the regular dagger used during the time. It is mostly used only by noble men, if not, members of the royal family.
