Could the Swordbreaker Dagger really catch and break a sword? Used as a sidearm during the Renaissance, it was designed to parry or redirect an opponent’s attack. Its most distinctive feature is the series of sharp, deep notches along its spine. These notches allowed the opponent’s sword to become trapped and “caught.” The real purpose was to control and disarm the opponent, not to break their weapon.
