A World War era bloodletter

This dagger, who’s blade is modeled after a 1st World War era Dutch fighting knife, leaves little to the imagination when it comes to application

The fairbains-sykes style grip provides a perfect balance right at the guard despite its overbuilt 1/4 inch thick blade, reminding the wielder that its prepared for anything

Daggers are strict fighting knives, and have remained a mainstay of combat for thousands of years

This particular knife is an amalgam of two venerable designs if the 20th century

13 inches overall, with a 7 3/4 inch blade, and weighs approximately 8.9 oz

Heat treated 4140 chromoly fittings with my Bovite materiel for the grip

Comes with a hand stitched veg-tanned leather sheath!
