This dagger is a rare one. Named because the distinctive shape of its pommel. Ear Daggers most often have a single sharpened edge that ends with an acute point. You can see many different versions on Google.
I was unable to find much information about the dagger but found it rather interesting, the name and what it looks like. However I did find THIS website and they do have a bit more info.

DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteYour article on the Ear Dagger is interesting. Presently, I am living in Germany and they have a knife/dagger exhibition here every year. Participants come from all over Europe.
Ciao,

Thank you. Oh my goodness, I would love to go to that! Too bad I'm not in Europe. I would be there in a heartbeat!
DeleteI am just pleased to learn that they are not designed specifically to stab people in the ear. Shudders!
ReplyDeleteLOL thank you for the laugh! Yeah, that would be painful.
DeleteIt actually looks cute. It should be called the Mickey Mouse Ear Dagger. But that probably wouldn't be appropriate. :)
