"Rondel dagger English, early 15th century
Rondel daggers were commonly used by both nobility and common soldiers for combat at close quarters.
The stiff, long, and often thin blades were particularly useful for stabbing vulnerable points in an armour,
such as the sights of a helmet's visor, armpits or the groin."
