A VICTORIAN TRIDENT PARRYING DAGGER IN THE RENAISSANCE STYLE
This Victorian era dagger was made to resemble a trident parrying dagger of the renaissance. Trident daggers are typified by their spring-loaded prongs which separate from the main body of the blade when a button is depressed. The purpose of the prongs is defensive, designed to catch an opponent's sword blade with one's offhand while attacking with the dominant hand.

L: 17.75 in. (45.09 cm.);

Good condition overall. Tines do not always stay shut. Some trouble with closing them again.
