Rondel Dagger Prop for LARP (no blade)

This is a prop model of a rondel dagger. These were a typical sidearm on the medieval battlefield, to the point that they became a common civilian accessory, as well, often worn just stuck through the belt behind a kidney-shaped pouch. 

There is no blade in this prop (not even a plastic printed one!), only the hilt furniture and the scabbard pieces, which all screw together with the aid of a ¼-20 threaded rod to provide some nice realistic heft and help it sit right on your belt. The design features no small or sharp surfaces or components, so you should be able/allowed to wear it even on the field at your favorite Battle Gaming group or LARP!

Simply print all the components (roundels lying flat, sheath and handle standing up, chape standing up with supports), paint as you like, wrap the handle maybe, wrap the scabbard in leather maybe, and assemble with nuts and rod and maybe some glue to either hold the nuts in place (or just hold things together with a dowel rod and adhesives). You can also pause at certain layers to insert nuts during the print to make assembly even easier.

Enjoy!
