The blade of this dagger is cast from a metal alloy and cannot be sharpened, making it safe for display in family environments. Christian military orders appeared following the First Crusade . The foundation of the Templars in 1118 provided the first in a series of tightly organised military forces which protected the Christian colonies in the Middle East , as well as fighting non-Christians in Spain and Eastern Europe .The principle feature of the military order is the combination of military and religious ways of life. Some of them like the Knights of St John and the Knights of St Thomas also cared for the sick and poor.
