D2 Steel Dagger Knife — Stag Antler Handle & Deer Tooled Leather Sheath

D2 Steel Dagger Knife with Stag Antler Handle

This handmade D2 steel dagger knife is one of the most distinctive pieces in our collection. The double-edged dagger blade is ground from D2 tool steel with a polished mirror finish and a hand-etched deer stag head on the blade — a detail that sets this knife apart from anything mass-produced. A brass double guard with black spacers transitions into a genuine stag antler handle with natural bone texture and markings. The tan leather sheath features a hand-tooled deer head carving, black stingray accent panel, snap button closure, cream stitching, and leather fringe — a sheath as detailed as the knife itself. A true collector piece built by hand.

Blade Details

D2 tool steel is one of the toughest high-carbon steels available — known for exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and durability. The double-edged dagger profile with a polished mirror finish gives this blade a clean, striking look. The hand-etched deer stag head on the blade is applied by hand — each one slightly unique. Approx. 5-inch blade, hand-sharpened to a razor edge before shipping.

Handle Details

The genuine stag antler handle is one of the most prized natural handle materials in knife making. Each stag antler handle is unique in its color, texture, and natural markings — no two are identical. The natural bone texture provides a secure, comfortable grip. The brass double guard with black spacers adds a premium, classic look and protects the hand during use. Full tang construction for maximum strength.

Sheath Details

The tan leather sheath is a work of art in itself. The front panel features a deeply hand-tooled deer head carving — a classic American leather craft technique. A black stingray accent panel at the bottom adds texture and contrast. Snap button closure at the top keeps the knife secure. Cream stitching along the edges and leather fringe at the bottom complete the western collector look.
