recently I got a unfinished blade (more like a piece of steel) that I would like to turn into a fancy dagger. This one should be "unusual" at the least.

Therefore I´m looking for mid to late 15th cent. daggers, that have odd blade-geometries, features and the like.

It woukld be grand, if you could help me.

Cheers,
Tomasz

How unique of a blade-profile? Can you provide a pic? It might help with matching up a hilt-style.

--------------------

Something like the three burgundian kidney daggers below. For teh hilt I was thinking to doing something out of, or at least, with bone. At the time being, I´m tending to a kidney dagger with a hilt made completely out of bone.

Here the stuf I thought about:
Burgundian Kidneydagger 1
Burgundian Kidneydagger 2
Kidney dagger 3, unknown provenience

Thanks for posting the pics! The most common, 'unusual' blade geometries that I have come across, is the single edge to a double edge at the top third near the point, and the re-enforced point - two of the daggers you post have the blade re-enforced for penetration, while one seems to have what is usually termed as a single edged knife with a false edge near to the point.

I am not entirely sure, but I believe the sorts of knives with squared points are tools, or fish-knives.
