Prototype of parrying dagger

Parrying dagger based off of a scan of a 16th C rapier in the Milanese style. Original piece attributed to Antonio Picinino (1509 - 1589).

I chopped it up in CAD and turned it into a crab style parrying dagger. Printed in PLA for prototyping purposes. Details of ornamentation look a little soft in the print but it looks better in person.

I think I have to dull the original finials a bit as the OG ones are a little pokey. I will also beef up the fillets on the ring guard.

This will probably be printed in stainless so it will tend to bend vs snap.

Castile blade.

Matching rapier in the works.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
