How to use

Setting up a backyard target for the skull dagger

A novelty Pakistan dagger like this one is still a real throwing knife, and a safe range matters more than a perfect throw. Before it leaves the box:

  1. Choose a thick slice of softwood log, end grain facing you, and mount it so the centre sits at about chest height.
  2. Put a solid backstop behind it, such as a fence panel or a stack of boards, and make sure the area beyond is empty.
  3. Leave grass or soft earth in front of the target; paving and stones damage points on every miss.
  4. Mark a throwing line and keep everyone behind it while knives are in the air.
  5. Before each new round, check the area behind and around the target for knives that skipped past it.
The story

Memento mori: why skulls turn up on blades

Skulls have decorated objects for centuries as reminders of mortality. In Europe the idea had a Latin name, memento mori, remember that you will die, and it appeared on rings, watches and the still-life paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, where a skull sat among fruit and candles as a quiet warning against vanity.

Later the motif moved into tattoo flash, motorcycle clubs and rock music, where it reads less as a warning than as a badge of humour and defiance. That is the spirit of this stainless Pakistan dagger: the skull is cut right through the grip, with a ring pommel above it, turning a practical sport thrower into a piece that sells on looks. A Pakistani blade with a theme like this suits Halloween displays and gift tables as well as the range.

Questions & answers

Skull-grip dagger: what customers want to know

What is the price of the skull dagger knife in Pakistan?

US$2.60 per piece (PKR 1,228 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$1.82 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Does the skull cutout weaken the grip?

No more than any other cutout. Steel is removed in a pattern rather than a single hole, but the frame around the skull is continuous from blade to ring pommel, keeping the 20 cm knife in one solid piece. As with any thrower, retire it if it ever bends and will not straighten.

Is the ring pommel just decoration?

It is useful too. Slip a finger through it to carry the dagger to and from the target, or hang it on a peg between rounds so it never lies on the ground. Never keep a finger in the ring while throwing, though: the knife must leave your hand cleanly.
