Which decorative dagger would you prefer?

To open your letters with, of course...

That's for a secret Santa gift exchange on another forum so I can't ask there (and if you know which one, please keep quiet) but I'd appreciate some feedback before I order tomorrow.

So far I'm leaning more towards the Barbarian dagger. The serrations are what turns me off the Templar dagger a bit. They do not seem to fit the overall look. The Claymore is the most functional looking of the three. Still, they all look quite nice and this is a Canadian sword retailer (a must in this case, to avoid duties for my giftee).

The Barbarian is the best of the 3.

 

[BigJ]

Barbarian.

The serrations are off on the Templar and the guard is way, way too big on the Claymore.

 

[mobobuff]

Claymore. Definitely the Claymore model.

 

[mooglemania85]

pole?

Knights FTW!

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Claymore all the way.

 

[novasatori]

claymore looks cool but a bit disproportioned

I like this one

Buy them all, and ask the same question to your victims.

 

[walkur]

out of those 3? The claymore.

Personally I'll stick with what I USE

 

[DivideBYZero]

Which one is the most stabby?

 

[Jodell88]

The Barbarian.

 

[SpiderWiz]

Barbarian Dagger w/Sheath

 

[Saint Michael]

Ugh, tacky. You should get a decent replica of an authentic historical dagger.

 

[Dualist]

I would choose the Knights Templar dagger.

 

[nageov3t]

probably #2.

just a personal preference, I hate it when blades are serrated like in #1 and #3 looks a little weird.

 

[TallBill]

I'd prefer a real knife.

 

[PrinceofWands]

The barbarian excites my viking heritage.

 

[dennilfloss]

There's a Viking-inspired dagger replica also.

 

[newb111]

Barbarian > Claymore > Templar. Those serrations are ugly.

oooh i likes this one too.

I believe the Main Gauche was traditionally used alongside a rapier or some other long stabby thing and was great for parrying.

 

[videogames101]

barbarian for sure

 

[Engraver]

The Main Gauche would be easier to pass off as a letter opener; the others are a bit gaudy (Knights Templar *cough*) unless you are killing infidels of course.
