A dagger takes up almost no wall and rewards close inspection more than a sword does, because everything is within reach of your eye. Guards, cabochons, midribs and etching all read at arm length. That makes it the sensible thing to buy when the wall is full and the interest is not.
The five, and what to look at
Wolfgleam is the Roman pugio, sixteen inches overall with a twin fullered waisted blade, a solid brass guard and a ribbed hardwood grip. Wasptooth is the other pugio at fifteen inches, with a raised midrib running the length of the blade, an engraved bronze guard and a leather sheath. Wingcrest is seventeen inches with a winged guard set with a red cabochon and a leather grip. Goldplume takes the same idea further at eighteen inches, a rune engraved blade under a brass winged guard with a red cabochon and a red scabbard. Ringspike is the plainest and the most modern, a Damascus bayonet dagger in 1095 and 15N20 with a fluted steel grip and a ring guard.
They sit in dagger knives, with the layered blades in Damascus knives. Mounts are in sword stands and displays.
