Legacy Arms Templar Knight Dagger of the Crusades

The Generation 2/Legacy Arms Teutonic Crusader Dagger is a fitting companion to our Teutonic Knight Sword, featuring a distinctive black cross design that matches the sword's aesthetic.

During the historic Third Crusade, initiated by Gregory VIII in 1187, Jerusalem was recaptured by Saladin's Islamic armies. In response, Philip and Richard, along with their armies, embarked on the crusade, arriving at Acre in 1190 after stops at Sicily and Cyprus. They participated in the siege of Acre, which ultimately resulted in the city's surrender in July 1191. Philip returned to France in August, leaving Richard in control. The terms of the surrender included a prisoner exchange and the return of the True Cross by Saladin, which had been captured during the fall of Jerusalem in 1187.

With its black cross design, the Generation 2/Legacy Arms Teutonic Crusader Dagger pays homage to the historical context and symbolism of the Teutonic Knights during the Third Crusade. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and the Legacy Arms commitment to quality, this dagger is a testament to the noble tradition of the crusading knights.
