SZCO 11.5" RAILROAD DAGGER

Good quality

Okay, I admit it, I'm a sucker for knives...probably started off when I realized that having three kitchen knives wasn't going to cut it (sorry, couldn't resist it). Yeah, I have enough kitchen knives to open a small shop. And, outdoorsy handyman knives? I could maybe open an even larger shop. Anyway, this knife is sturdy, well put together, and will probably take most abuse that I'm liable to inflict on it. Not going to lie, this isn't a knife to hang on the wall to impress your buds, this is the one to tackle rough jobs and thereby impress your buds with its utility. And it comes with a functional leather sheath. I might consider getting another one to give away to that bumbling fool I'm sure to meet who's suffering with some pretty blade that should have stayed on his wall.

Now this is a chunk of steel! Made from a railroad spike, the handle of this knife is much heavier than the blade, but no big deal. The look is of a mini-Gladius, double edged and sharp. I am not a real fan of the angle that is inherent in a tanto type blade, and this has one on each edge, but they are slightly less pronounced. I always felt that this inhibited ease of sharpening, but I used a steel on this thing, and it is quite edgy! A good price to add this to my collection of 50 years, very unique offering. And the sheath is a perfect fit and of high quality.

Love this heavy knife the handle is fine if you wear gloves but rough in barehands . Holds edge and good heavy carbon steel ! Great addition to my knives . Needs a better sheath which I will make in my leather studio

Very heafty, came covered in protective oil, the bag it was in, the blade and handle, the whole thing was covered in oil. The handle is heavier than the blade, which when sheathed, the handle tends to flip and point down. The sheath itself is nice, and holds the blade tightly, but in time I do worry about the blade falling out when it flips upside down from walking.

Nice heft. Handle fills nice in hand. Scabbard is well stitched. Works great for Ren fair outfit or side project. Isn't a true blade, so sharpness of edge is non-existent... but the point is very pointy.

It's a great dager. It comes with a sleeve and it's wrapped in a bag and with oil in it to keep it from rusting. It does need to be sharpened once you get it.

I like this knife. It is nice looking and solid. Its heavy but fairly sharp. I am amazed what can be made from a railroad spike,The kn ife will look good in my collection but I cans also display it in a shadow box etc. I would buy it again.
