Sigfried Dragon Slayer's Dagger Brass Hilt with Sheath

Siegfried is a character in the Germanic, epic poem Nibelungenlied.  And this dagger has been forged in the spirit of that text.  Complete with a winged dragon hilt, the dagger's scabbard spirals down in a reminiscent castle top motif.  The Nibelungenlied, translated as The Song of the Nibelungs, is an epic poem in Middle High German. It tells the story of dragon-slayer Siegfried at the court of the Burgundians, his murder, and of his wife Kriemhild's revenge.

The Nibelungenlied is based on pre-Christian Germanic heroic motifs (the "Nibelungensaga"), which include oral traditions and reports based on historic events and individuals of the 5th and 6th centuries. Old Norse parallels of the legend survive in the Völsunga saga, the Prose Edda, the Poetic Edda, the Legend of Norna-Gest, and the Þiðrekssaga.
