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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandmade Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKnife Care Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe the blade dry after each use — D2 steel has moderate corrosion resistance but benefits from regular oiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a thin coat of mineral oil or blade oil after cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in the leather sheath in a dry environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a diamond stone or fine whetstone at a consistent 20-degree angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition the leather sheath periodically with quality leather conditioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only — never put in a dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy D2 steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eD2 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this knife full tang?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the blood grooves for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a sheath?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Every knife includes a hand-stitched brown leather sheath with a belt loop for secure carry and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the handle genuine stag horn?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I maintain D2 steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-ground, hand-finished, and built to last a lifetime.\u003c\/strong\u003e Add this dagger to your collection today — stock is limited and each piece is made by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HS Knives Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54112041435455,"sku":"HSK-DAG-STAG-D2-001","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/2309\/6127\/files\/image_6a87e47b-d1ae-4840-88cd-28c990ee7ed7.png?v=1784152870","url":"https:\/\/hsknivesstore.com\/products\/handmade-dagger-knife-stag-horn-wood-d2-steel","provider":"HS Knives Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
