I have moved this topic to the Historic Arms Talk forum.
Please note the description for this forum:

Thank you.

To the best of my (limited) knowledge, they are a modern concept. Certainly, several historical bladesmiths I know of are very disparaging of the idea.

Whether a "bodice dagger" or not, the old MRL replica scissor/dagger was supposedly based on an original. Anyone know anything about that?
