It doesn't matter if you're slashing or stabbing, Shadowblade was designed to get the job done. Designed as a multi-functional, easily concealable weapon, the oak leaf dagger was a favorite of woodsmen, rogues, assasins and insane circus clowns everywhere.

The flared blade had a number of uses. First and foremost, the flare gave more surface area to the blade, making for deadly slashes (think of how a scimitar works and you're on the right track). And when it came to stabbing, there were few daggers capable of causing as grievous wounds as the oak leaf. The narrow tip would puncture armor and cartilege and the wider foible would rip the wound open wider.

As it's name implies, Shadowblade was designed for easy concealment as well. The flat, rectangular grip, the compact leather sheath and the overall slim profile of the dagger would have allowed outlaws and assasins to strap the weapon to a leg or back, underneath their clothing.

Shadowblade is forged from Strongblade's standard high-carbon steel, which means that it will hold an edge well if you should wish to sharpen it (if you're an insane circus clown, please do not sharpen this weapon). A single fuller runs along the center of the blade giving the dagger more strength.

The grip on this weapon is made from a rectangular piece of wood, slim in profile for easy concealment. The wood has deep ridges along its length for a very secure no-slip grip. This wood is wrapped in rugged double-stitched black leather for comfort.

So, whether you're looking for a dark piece of history to display in your collection, or wearing it around town as part of your rogue/ranger costume, the Shadowblade will certainly draw attention (even if it's original puspose was the opposite).

The flintlock pistol was the greatest advance in pirating since the wooden leg. The concept was fairly simple: gunpowder was stuffed into the barrel. A lead ball, usually wrapped in some sort of fabric, was stuffed in. A hammer was then pulled back half-way and left that way until the gun was ready to fire. The pistol technically was not meant to fire in this position, although sometimes they were known to go off half-cocked (and yes, that is the origin of that expression). When the gun was ready to be fired, the hammer was pulled back all the way and the trigger was squeezed.
