With our “Tournament” parrying daggers we would like to open new ways in HEMA. We wanted a dagger which can be used not only as a defense tool but also on the offensive side. But how can we make it safe for tournament usage? To achieve the desired result we had to test numerous steels and alloys. With our new materials we were able to design a blade which is highly flexible but do not suffer permanent deformation even on heavy trusts. Hopefully we can see new tournament rule-sets arise influenced by our daggers.
