Dagger

What are good manuals for Dagger?

Also, can anyone tell me what the Sopra Mano and Sotto Mano are in Marozzo's knife?

Cheers.
Martin.

Fiore, Talhoffer, Gladiatoria, Codex Wallerstein for starters. Forgeng has published a translation of Meyer, which is excellent and eye opening, but I am not at liberty to share it. However, the word is that Forgeng will publish a full Meyer translation sometime in the spring. Keep an eye out for it. It is a must have.

I (bowing head modestly) will be publishing a compendium on the dagger possibly in July. My intention was to interpret techniques from a variety of sources and to show them in a manner that will enable practitioners to grasp the underlying concepts of the Medieval dagger and to use the book as a basis for their training. Paladin is the publisher. JC has contributed an excellent forward with lots of historical background.

Mair also wrote a great deal on dagger combat.
