Clean design. Premium finish. The Black Grip Handmade Medieval Dagger is a compact 12-inch collector's piece that gets every detail right. It features a 7-inch acid-washed double-edge blade, a 5-inch black leather-wrapped handle, a straight silver quillon crossguard, and a silver ball pommel all built by hand at JW SteelCrafts.
The blade carries an acid-washed finish a process that gives the steel a matte, textured appearance with a raw, aged character. Unlike a mirror polish, the acid-wash finish reduces glare, hides minor surface marks, and gives the blade a rugged, authentic medieval look. The double-edge profile tapers cleanly to a sharp point in the classic quillon dagger style.
The handle is 5 inches of tight horizontal black leather wrapping clean, grippy, and well-executed. The ridged wrap pattern gives it a distinctive look that stands apart from plain handle designs. The straight silver crossguard and small round silver ball pommel complete the piece with classic, understated proportion.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a medieval quillon dagger?
A quillon dagger is a medieval-style dagger with a straight crossguard called a quillon between the blade and handle. This style was widely used across Europe from the 12th to 16th centuries by knights, soldiers, and nobility. The Black Grip Handmade Medieval Dagger uses this classic quillon design with a straight silver crossguard and a clean double-edge blade.
What is an acid-washed blade finish?
An acid-washed finish is created by treating the blade surface with an acid solution that chemically etches the steel, producing a matte, textured, slightly aged appearance. It is popular on medieval replica daggers and hunting knives because it gives the blade a rugged, authentic look while reducing surface reflectivity. The Black Grip Medieval Dagger carries this finish for a raw, historically inspired aesthetic.
What type of handle wrap is used on this dagger?
The Black Grip Medieval Dagger features tight horizontal black leather wrapping on a 5-inch handle. The ridged wrap pattern is applied consistently from guard to pommel, giving the handle a clean, premium look with a firm grip texture. Leather-wrapped handles were common on real medieval daggers and remain one of the most popular choices for collectors and replica buyers.
Is this medieval dagger good for display or gifting?
Yes. The acid-washed blade, black leather handle, and clean silver fittings make this one of the most well-designed compact daggers in the JW SteelCrafts collection.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:

  1. Regular Cleaning
    Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish.
  2. Dry Thoroughly
    After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture.
  3. Proper Storage
    Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials.
  4. Avoid Impact
    While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece.
  5. Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
    Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity.
  6. Routine Inspection
    Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.

By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
