A vicious little bugger...
This dagger is a modified version of the Intrepid dagger. It has been reduced slightly in size to make it more "boot" friendly. It comes with a calf sheath with brass buckles and copper pins. The blade is forged in your choice of 1095, ATS-34, or D2 tool steel and holds an edge extremely well. The edges are hardened to approximately a 59 or 60 on the rockwell "c" scale whilst the spine is a softer 52 or 53 and the tang is about a 46. What this means is greater shock resistance and better edge-holding ability. This dagger has a black walnut grip and just feels "right" in the hand. This piece was made for testing and it continues to perform flawlessly after 5 years of rigorous use sometimes bordering on abuse. Steel lumber-pack strapping? No problem. Seasoned hardwood? Easy. Flexibility and hammer testing? Begging for more. The tang is a full 1/4" thick. I use this dagger on a virtual daily basis for everything from opening packages to butchering deer and as an impromptu machete.
