Handmade Dagger Knife – Stag Horn & Wood Handle | D2 Steel Multi-Fuller

Handmade Dagger Knife – Stag Horn & Wood Handle | D2 Steel | Multi-Fuller Blade

A dagger built like this doesn't come off a production line. The blade is forged from D2 tool steel — one of the hardest, most wear-resistant steels available — and ground with three blood grooves that run nearly the full length of the blade. The result is a knife that cuts clean, holds its edge, and carries a presence that commands attention.

The stag horn and wood composite handle is hand-fitted to the full tang, with steel bolsters at both ends providing structural strength and a refined finish. The grip is natural and secure, shaped to sit comfortably in the hand whether you're using it in the field or displaying it in a collection.

Every knife ships with a hand-stitched brown leather sheath with belt loop — built to protect the blade and carry it safely wherever you go.

Benefits and Use Cases

D2 steel is the choice of serious knife users who demand an edge that lasts. With a hardness rating typically between 60–62 HRC, it outperforms most stainless steels in edge retention and wear resistance. The triple fuller design keeps the blade light and fast without compromising strength. Whether you're a collector, hunter, or outdoorsman, this dagger delivers performance and aesthetics in equal measure.

Handmade Craftsmanship

The blade is hand-ground from D2 bar stock, shaped and polished by a craftsman who understands the steel. The blood grooves are individually ground — not stamped. The stag horn and wood handle sections are hand-selected, fitted to the tang, and finished to a smooth, balanced grip. The leather sheath is cut, stitched, and fitted by hand. Every step of the process is done by a person, not a machine.

Knife Care Instructions

• Wipe the blade dry after each use — D2 steel has moderate corrosion resistance but benefits from regular oiling
• Apply a thin coat of mineral oil or blade oil after cleaning
• Store in the leather sheath in a dry environment
• Sharpen with a diamond stone or fine whetstone at a consistent 20-degree angle
• Condition the leather sheath periodically with quality leather conditioner
• Hand wash only — never put in a dishwasher

Frequently Asked Questions

Why D2 steel?

D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for outstanding edge retention and wear resistance. It's harder than most stainless steels and holds a sharp edge significantly longer under heavy use — making it a top choice for serious working and collector knives.

Is this knife full tang?

Yes. The blade steel runs the full length of the handle, providing the structural integrity needed for demanding use and ensuring the handle never loosens or separates from the blade.

What are the blood grooves for?

The three fullers reduce blade weight while maintaining strength, improving the knife's balance and making it faster and more responsive in the hand. It's a design used on high-performance blades for centuries.

Does it come with a sheath?

Yes. Every knife includes a hand-stitched brown leather sheath with a belt loop for secure carry and storage.

Is the handle genuine stag horn?

Yes. The handle combines real natural stag horn and wood, hand-fitted and finished. Because these are natural materials, each handle has a slightly different color and grain — making every knife one of a kind.

How do I maintain D2 steel?

Keep it dry, oil it regularly, and sharpen with a diamond stone or fine whetstone. D2 responds well to basic maintenance and will hold its edge far longer than softer steels.
