About this piece
Throwing Spearhead, 3mm Edges is a dagger carried by Warborn Blades, a licensed United States dealer of daggers and dirks. It measures 19in overall as stated by the forge, and it ships from the house's own walls rather than a drop-shipper's warehouse.
The blade is Steel, as forged. Read the steel against the work you mean to give the piece; the forge's own designation is stated here rather than guessed at.
Fittings and furniture: As fitted. The fittings are where a piece is honest or is not — a guard, a pommel and a grip that are fitted tight will not shift under work.
Double-edged blades are the pattern most often restricted in carry, even where they are freely lawful to own. Read your province before you carry this one concealed.

The house will hold it in mind for two days. Come back inside that window and a tenth of the reckoning is forgiven.
The Trial of the Blade
Swing it before you own it. This exact piece — its reach, its weight, its steel — is put in a fitting hand and set against a living foe for three exchanges. What you feel is what you would carry.
The Tale of the Blade
What it is built for
This piece is built for the close quarter — narrow, two-edged, and quick out of the sheath.
The lineage of its steel — Steel, as forged
Blade steel. Whatever alloy an edge is cut from, the same three things decide how it behaves: hardness, geometry, and how it is kept. Learn those and no marketing name will fool you again.
Read the chapter on this steel →This blade belongs in the hand of
The close-quarters keeper
One who collects the historical pattern, or wants a companion piece to a longer blade.
Keeping it alive
Dry it, oil it, store it out of the sheath for the long keep, and sharpen it before it is blunt rather than after. The house gives the whole method away for nothing.
The Upkeep Writ — free →The road it walked to this wall
1. Forged at the maker's fire
The piece is made by the forge that makes it — we do not pretend to have hammered it.
2. Received and looked over by the house
It comes into our walls and is checked before it is ever offered.
3. Sealed with the Seal of Provenance
The house records what it knows about the piece — and refuses to claim what it cannot prove.
4. Sent out from the house's own walls
It ships from us, with the record travelling beside it.
These four stations are the house’s standing doctrine for every piece it carries, not a tracking record of this one blade. Where the house cannot prove a claim, it strikes the claim rather than dressing it up.
The voice of the steel
Every piece in this house has one true note, and it is not a recording. Throwing Spearhead, 3mm Edges is 19″ of steel, as forged, and a bar of that length and that temper rings at about 209 hertz — deep and steady, true. Strike it and hear the piece itself.

The Blood Ledger
01The Pattern
Every culture that outlawed swords kept daggers, and every culture that kept daggers regretted it. The pattern survives because it hides, and hiding has always been half of any killing.
02The Making
Steel: Steel, as forged. The house states what the forge stated and nothing more. We do not embroider metallurgy.
03The Carry
At 19 inches this sits between the arm and the field — too long to be discreet, too short to need both hands. It is the awkward, dangerous middle that historically belonged to men on horseback and men in doorways.
04The Reckoning
Steel keeps no loyalty. It does what the arm does. The ledger ends where your part of it begins.

What it leaves open
Swung honestly, it keeps you close. No piece covers every yard of ground — that is why no one ever carried only one. Beside it the house would hang something that reaches past the guard before he closes.
The Armorer’s Bench
What it leaves wantingNo one ever carried one blade. The armorer sets down what this piece cannot answer for, and names the steel that can.
