A baselard is a historical dagger that originated in Switzerland during the late medieval period, around the 14th century. It is characterized by its distinctive H-shaped hilt, which provides a secure grip and allows for effective thrusting and slashing. The blade of a baselard is typically double-edged, straight, and tapers to a sharp point, making it a versatile weapon for close combat. Baselards were popular among both civilians and soldiers, often serving as a secondary weapon.
