Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/lindybei... • More weapons and armour videos here: • Weapons and armour • The late medieval treatises show us one main technique for an attack with a dagger - the right-handed downward stab with a rondel. Here I suggest that this might not be the greatest way to fight with a knife/dagger. • The so-called 'ice-pick grip' using a rondel dagger may be better for dealing with foes in armour, but here I am confining myself to the enormously more common instance of foes who are not in armour. • This video has been unfortunately misinterpreted by some viewers, and I have made a long video clarifying what I am saying (and not saying) in this video here: • Stabbing clarification • Lindybeige: a channel of archaeology, ancient and medieval warfare, rants, swing dance, travelogues, evolution, and whatever else occurs to me to make. • ▼ Follow me... • Twitter: / lindybeige I may have some drivel to contribute to the Twittersphere, plus you get notice of uploads. • Facebook: / lindybeige (it's a 'page' and now seems to be working). • Google+: google.com/+lindybeige • website: www.LloydianAspects.co.uk • Dagger fighting • / user Lindybeige
