Fixed Blade Dagger with 114mm Damascus Steel Blade and Red Micarta Handle
This fixed blade dagger features a blade forged from 512 layers of 1075 high-carbon and 4340 stainless steels. The distinctive twist pattern is unique to each hand-forged piece, and the blade is hardened to 55–58 HRC for reliable performance.
The handle is shaped from durable red Micarta, accented with a silver pin and brass lanyard pipe, providing a secure and comfortable grip. The knife is balanced for control in detailed cutting tasks. To maintain the blade, keep it dry and lightly oiled after use.
Ideal for general workshop duties, model making, leatherwork, or as a collectible piece for blade enthusiasts.

Before you order
Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.
Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.
Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.
Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
