Choosing a dagger for your range
Start with the blade. Most of our daggers are double-edged with a central fuller (the groove that lightens the blade and keeps it stiff); a few have a spear point, a saw-back or a notched spine. Stainless blades are the easy-care choice; Damascus blades, forge-welded from layers of steel and etched to show the pattern, are the collector pieces.
Then the fittings: brass or steel guards, brass bolsters, and handles in olive, teak, walnut, acacia or dark wood. Every dagger comes with a leather case.
- For a first order, mix two or three handle woods on the same blade so the display looks full.
- Put one Damascus dagger at the top of the range: it sells the plainer ones beside it.
- Dagger blade blanks with mounting rivets suit workshops and hobby makers who fit their own handle.
Check the rules on selling double-edged knives in your country before you order.
