Description
The main gauche (“left-hand” dagger) was used in combination with the rapier, providing an added dimension of both offense and defense. The Hanwei SH1029 Main Gauche (1029-GT) is typical of an early 17th-century piece, with strong quillons for parrying, a ring guard for hand protection and a wire grip for secure handling.
