Blocking Dagger 

The Blocking Dagger is made for those who fight with speed, not force. With off-hand fighting in mind, this 55 cm dagger gives you the real leverage when you find yourself up close. From parrying sword blows to closing the distance, or pushing opponents in close range, this is the kind of weapon that lets you stay sharp, in control, and one step ahead of your adversary.

This dagger has Epic Armoury's Vanguard construction, so you get a soft PU foam blade combined with an abusive PU foam hilt. It's tough, safe, and designed to handle brutal abuse. What makes it stand out, though, is the additional stiffness at its core. That added stiffness gives you more control while parrying, better feedback in the hand, and a bit of added bite while delivering or deflection blows. If you’re into off-hand blocking or technical fighting styles, you’ll feel the difference right away.

Design-wise, it stays simple and recognizable. The straight crossguard offers a traditional silhouette that suits any setting, from fantasy to low-fantasy or even post-apocalyptic. It's available in two styles: one with a black grip for a sleek, vintage look, and one with a light wood finish that adds a touch of flair. Both feature a polished steel-coloured blade and crossguard, so they fit into any costume or character idea without hesitation.

This is not a sidearm; it's a combat device that will enhance your capabilities. Whether you're a duellist relying on speed and accuracy, a sneaky rogue able to utilize a bit of insurance up close, or a soldier looking for an extra edge when the action gets up close and personal, the Blocking Dagger is the ideal choice. The compact design means that it won't slow you down or hinder you when scabbarded on your belt. But come time to draw, it's ready. 

And because it's foam, not steel, you can close in and get intimate without concern. However, the stiffened core still provides the tactile delight of feeling like you've made contact, ideal for combatants who enjoy feeling as much as they do being unseen.
