I have moved this topic to the Historic Arms Talk forum.

Please note the description for this forum:

Thank you.

My first question, because I don't know the answer is: are bodice daggers historical or modern? I'm disappointed in myself for not knowing this since I was into costuming for so long and I'm into the study of edged weapons. I've always assumed that bodice daggers are a modern creation.

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?
