Custom D2 Steel Dagger with Walnut Grip

Blade Specifications

• Material: Forged D2 tool steel, selected for high wear resistance and excellent edge stability.

• Profile: Classic symmetrical needle-point dagger design with a prominent central ridge for maximum piercing strength.

• Grind: Dual hollow grinds on both edges, creating a razor-sharp, double-edged profile.

• Finish: Uniform longitudinal satin finish that emphasizes the clean lines of the geometry.

• Spine/Ridge: Thick reinforced central spine that tapers precisely to a fine, acute point.

• Ricasso: Features a smooth, unsharpened ricasso area above the bolster for added structural integrity and indexing.

Handle Specifications

• Material: Selected dark Walnut wood, polished to a high sheen to highlight the natural swirling grain patterns.

• Construction: Hidden tang design, providing a seamless and comfortable ergonomic transition.

• Bolster: Integrated stainless steel bolster with a deep finger choil for enhanced safety and grip control.

• Ergonomics: Waisted handle profile with a flared pommel, designed to fit naturally in the palm and prevent slipping.

• Hardware: Precision-fitted assembly with a clean, hardware-free exterior to maintain the wood’s aesthetic continuity.

Damascus Specifications

• Steel Type: This particular dagger features a Mono-Steel D2 construction rather than a layered Damascus, focusing on high-performance structural uniformity.

• Heat Treatment: Vacuum hardened to a Rockwell Hardness (HRC) of 59-61.

• Patterning: The blade lacks acid-etching to maintain a professional, tactical satin appearance suitable for a classic stiletto aesthetic.

• Maintenance: While D2 is semi-stainless, it is best maintained with a light wipe of oil to protect the polished finish from environmental moisture.
