Description
The late medieval/Renaissance quillon dagger owes its name to the shape of its grip. The dagger was primarily made to parry or block enemy blades in close quarters combat. The sharp pointed blade was ideal for piercing gambesons and chainmail. The dagger is based on an original early 16th century example (ca. 1510-1540) which is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York City

Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
