Joan Perez Left Hand Dagger Ring

Imposing and unique, this left-hand dagger by Joan Perez has been hand-forged from recycled steel from an old railway carriage spring, giving it exceptional strength and toughness. Its robust and elegant blade maintains the classic profile of a "main gauche," ideal for both defense and display.

The handle is hand-carved from 18th-century oak wood salvaged from an old beam, providing timeless beauty and unparalleled natural warmth. Each grain of the wood tells its own story, combining nobility and durability.

This piece is not just a weapon, but a work of art with soul: a fusion of the tradition of classic European combat and the mastery of the modern blacksmith. Ideal for collectors, practitioners of historical fencing, or lovers of pieces with character.

Left-hand daggers, also known as "main gauche," are secondary weapons used primarily during the 16th and 17th centuries in the art of sword fighting. Designed to be wielded with the non-dominant hand, they accompanied swords like the rapier and served defensive functions, such as parrying, deflecting, or trapping the opponent's weapon. They often featured wide guards, curved quills, and reinforced blades, making them effective for both defense and quick counterattacks. Their use was characteristic of Renaissance European fencing, especially in styles such as the Italian and Spanish schools. Click Play to view the Video.
