Quillon Dagger

Introduction

The Quillon Dagger is a medieval short killing weapon that originated in the 12th century and was used by knights and soldiers until the 18th century. Designed to stab only; it is double edged, tapered to a sharp point, with a straight edge. The blood line groove facilitates removal. 

Exceptional Blade quality

We have chosen 15N20 and 1085 (Carbon Steel) to forge this 352 layers twist Damascus for the blade material. Together with our meticulous heat treatment and tempering process we are able to achieve a hardness of +-60 RHC. This results in a blade that holds it sharpness for much longer.

Blade finish

We have selected a hollow grind for this blade where after it has been hand sanded to a 2000 Grid high satin finish. The blade is then placed in Ferric Chloride to bring out the Damascus pattern. Further enhanced with a Coffee soak overnight. 

Handle material

The Quillons, spacers and pommel nut are all made from Bronze. Meticulously hand shaped to perfect symmetry. For the handle we have chosen Lamtoro wood (Leucaena leucocephala) originating from Southern Mexico. The Chatoyance on this personally selected piece used are unmatched and enhances the beauty of this piece.  

Hand crafted sheath

The Sheath is manufactured from +- 3.3 mm Gr A Cow Hide leather. With its elegant finish it compliments your hand-crafted knife.
