The Paul Chen Taza Main Gauche by Hanwei is built for the reenactor and is made as a match for the Paul Chen Taza Cup Hilt Rapier Sword. The Taza Main Gauche is fitted with a file worked blade in the Spanish style. The Taza Main Gauche features a pierced guard and pommel in the same design as the Taza rapier. A leather scabbard and belt frog are included.
The Main Gauche , or left hand dagger , was often used with the rapier sword , providing an added dimension in both offense and defense. The Schools of Fence which proliferated in Europe during the 17th century taught the use of the two weapons in combination. The Main Gauche would often match the Rapier in styling, while incorporating features which maximized the effectiveness of the dagger.
This fully functional main gauche is tailored to meet the demands of re-enactment and stage combat.
