Kyle Toelle sent me his instructional video material on the use of the dagger based on medieval and renaissance sources to review. It ended up being more of a commentary and discussion of techniques (as well as some points on Bullshido vs. functional practice) than a full review as such. Either way, it's a good opportunity to talk about dagger combat in history, which I haven't covered much before.
