This prestigious 12-inch full-tang custom dagger combines a striking double-edged D2 tool steel blade with the rich natural character of bull horn and refined stainless steel fittings. Designed and individually handmade for years of dependable practical use, it is far more than simply a display piece—it is strongly and substantially constructed to perform, while possessing the craftsmanship and enduring character required to eventually be passed on to future generations as an heirloom.
The impressive 8.60-inch blade is crafted from prestigious, high-strength D2 tool steel and given an excellent heat treatment for outstanding hardness, strength, edge holding, and edge retention. Measuring approximately 5 mm thick, the blade features expertly executed hand grinds on both sides, creating the distinctive symmetrical geometry of a traditional dagger. Both blade edges are carefully honed sharp, completing its dramatic double-edged profile. Its full-tang construction extends through the handle, providing excellent structural strength and solidity throughout the knife.
The rock-solid handle is fitted with gorgeous natural bull horn scales, selected for their distinctive colouring, texture, and individual character. The scales are securely fastened to the full tang with a combination of brass and decorative mosaic pins, together with strong epoxy for long-lasting durability. As bull horn is a natural material, variations in tone, pattern, and surface character ensure that every individually handmade handle possesses its own unique appearance. Stainless steel bolsters complete the handle, adding strength and balance while providing an elegant contrast with the natural horn, decorative pins, and D2 steel blade.
The dagger comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, Impact Cutlery Lifetime Warranty Card, and business card.
