Message to Edit: HTML is OFF UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Kevin I on 10-09-2002 10:21 AM I'll cast my vote on the "stronger stab" side here... if you say it's about how the dagger was worn, it seems likely to end up in a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" kind of loop; if people really preferred a different grip, they probably would have worn it in a different manner. Perhaps fashion might have had some very small part to play, but I find it hard to accept that medieval daggers were worn the way they were for any reason other than that it was the most convenient for what they wanted to use it for- stabbing people, and not banging around too much when riding.
