Daggers

Every dagger here is hand forged from pattern-welded Damascus or 1095 high carbon steel, the same blades our full-size swords come off the forge with, scaled to the belt. The range runs from the Roman pugio-style dagger and the Scottish dirk to the renaissance stiletto and the double-bladed Indian haladie, and each ships with a sheath.

How to choose: a dirk or Roman dagger suits historical display and reenactment kits; the stiletto is the slim renaissance sidearm; the haladie is the conversation piece. Damascus shows the layered pattern collectors prize, 1095 takes the keenest working edge. If you want a larger companion blade, our hand-forged knives cover bowies, hunters and kukris, and matching full-size blades live in the sword collection.
