The late medieval/Renaissance quillon dagger got its name from the shape of its guard, which was essentially a scaled-down version of the crusades (double quillons) found on swords of the time. Often fitted with a protruding ring or half ring on one side of the guard, this particular type of dagger was designed to parry or block enemy blades in close combat, and its sharp blade with a pointed tip was ideal for piercing padded armor. and chain mail or stab the opponent through the joints of their plate armor. Usually carried as a sidearm to a sword or rapier, and appearing in many variations, the parry dagger enjoyed great popularity among knights, landsknechte (the notorious, mostly German mercenaries of the late 15th century and XVI) and even wealthy citizens.
