HEMA Daggers

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.

Why not practice with some of Cold Steel's most popular knife designs, in relative safety, by using one of their rubber training knives? Each item has been carefully constructed to look and feel as realistic as possible to be effectively used in solo practice, training drills, disarm drills and demonstrations.

The Santoprene rubber blades are soft enough to prevent the likelihood of most bodily injuries. However, they have a level of firmness that might cause injury to the face or eyes, so it is recommended that appropriate eye protection or a fencing mask is always used when using a Cold Steel rubber training product.
