- This dagger is made with Elmax steel I didn't mention that in the review... and if you're going to tell me how to buy knives don't waste your time I buy what I want to buy and I keep what I want to keep and I'll say what I want to say, if you don't like it make your own reviews. And yes there are daggers that stab, and there are daggers that slice, some do both. I know how to sharpen a knife and I know about knives I probably forgot more about knives than some people will ever know. so if you're going to tell me how daggers are not supposed to slice save it I don't care. if you get butthurt because I don't like this, then go buy your own shank and I'll buy what I want to buy. Otherwise thanks for watching!

It's butter knife sharp by design because it's a thrusting/stabbing weapon. To make it razor sharp, the design would have to change in one of the following directions: hollow grind, a much wider blade, or thinner blade. A better cutting/thrusting alternative would be Tai Pan by Cold Steel.
There are a lot of daggers that thrust there's the Boker applegate-fairbairn there's many, I don't want one that only stabs I have knobs instruments that stabbed only if I buy dagger I want it to slice hands-down especially if I paid almost $400 for it!
And I don't believe it's better dog by Design because they wouldn't have even put a grind on the side at all that would be ridiculous so why did they ground the edges if it wasn't meant to cut lol
@@jerrydonquixote5927 thank you so much for this review I saw that it was like a $300 knife I was like man it better be worth it and I watch this video and you’re like yeah it comes in not sharp. There are plenty of daggers and boot knives that are sharp on both sides makes no sense why they would make it like that.
@Altered Frost well thank you for watching and I appreciate you saying that as well so many people act like I'm stupid and I don't know how to sharpen a knife he has nothing to do with me being able to sharpen a knife I don't want to spend $350 and the knife come like a butter knife, it's just not worth it to me! I really wish I could find a Gerber De Facto but there are a lot of other good daggers out there too! Hope you find what makes you happy!
@@jerrydonquixote5927 perhaps another decent knife I can suggest is one by Glock. It’s relatively narrow, single edged blade that is sharp AF. There are 2 versions of it, so I’d recommend one without root saw.
I just love the symmetry of a dagger! Thanks for giving us a look Jerry. Have a great week!
Me too Michael I love that symmetry it's very appealing to the eyes, thanks for watching brother!

For what its worth here is a quote from a knife maker on the blade forum: I need to do a better job educating you. A fighting dagger is supposed to cut going in and coming out - just like a saw blade. On a bigger scale look at a cabinet maker's saw. It will cut wood for years going back and forth. Now, grind the teeth off it, polish the edge up so that it will cut hair/paper then try and cut wood with it.....the saw blade, sharpened the way you want it, will slide over the wood and not cut. To sharpen it the way you want it would do you a disservice - this dagger is battle ready and will give you a wicked cut going in and out MANY times. In addition, the built up tip prevents tip breakage - this is a killer dagger.
If you've tried to sharpen this dagger to shave hair, you've changed it from a fighting dagger to a show piece. If this is the case, send it back to me, and I will put the edge back on it the way I sent it to you - a true fighting dagger. Trust me, I wouldn't steer you wrong.
Now that's what I like you just taught me something and that's what I love about the knife world is I'm still learning and I always will be! I like push daggers stabbing weapons Shanks whatever you want to call them and also like knives but this wasn't meant to be both and I should have acknowledged that before I purchased it! Man that was very well put what you posted and I appreciate that! And that's better than people telling me you don't know how to sharpen a knife of course I can sharpen a knife but this one wasn't meant to have all that steel removed to be sharp so it is a thrusting weapon in your correct. It would be a disservice to take all that metal off of it and try to make it shave. Thanks for educating me on that...
after doing some reasearch most daggers come with dull edges as are ment to penetrate not slash. each to his/her own though, but this is a stunner for sure i;m gonna buy one knowing the edges are dull after all im not going to use it. thanks again for sharing. and sorry you didn'y keep it.
It's a good-looking dagger, if you know that in advance and you want it, I believe you'll be happy with it, it's very well made! Thanks for watching too!
get the Spartan Blades V-14 Dagger knife. looks just like that but super sharp
@sodalines you know what you want I really want it's discontinued but it's the Gerber De Facto I'm hoping they'll make another one add a gripping handle serrations on both sides and sliced like nobody's business. I do like Spartan blades too.
It is not a collector piece only at all. It is a excellent weapon, the geometry is excellent, elmax is great steel and it has been heat treated well since it is anv and dlc is the hardest coating available. It is a dagger, you dont want a super sharp edge , you want to stab and that is it. It is not made for cutting. Its like buying a chopping knife and complaining that it doesn't stab well.
Running you hand at the edge doesnt prove much. Put just a little bit of speed and it will cut. Speed cuts.
Thanks for the video either way.
It's a beautiful, deadly knife. Grip and sheath colors are also excellent choices. A good knife overall.
@jt5721 yeah it is a good-looking knife and it is well made too, it just wasn't for me.
I always wanted one. I did read they come unsharp. Whats holding is the price and the fact that its elmax steel which is hard to sharpen. Thank you for the review. Beautiful knife but unfortunate.
Yes I think Elnax is pretty hard to Sharpen and I've only sharpened one knife with Elmax that was a Microtech. And these are going to require some serious time and I think the only way you could really get it sharp is to lay the edges back and that's going to make the take away from the beauty of the dagger they're really not angled at all I would say maybe 40° angles on there maybe I don't I'm not looking at it so it's hard to remember but it was not very good. Thank you for watching I appreciate your comment friend..👍🏻🙂
its a dagger, meant for piercing/stabbing, not slashing, dont use the wrong tool for the job
Checkout the Szabo Express knife by Tops Knives. They make them in single and double edge so you can pick the version you want. It’s sharp right out of the box. I got a double edge version and I love it. It’s always on my belt!
@@117rebel I've had the tops dagger before I've had it twice as a matter of fact I end up selling both of them but I did like them it's a cool knife I just sold my Tops Street Scalpel last week. I think the one you're talking about the Sasbo Express I haven't seen it but I will check it out and thank you for that heads up!
Brittle point? It's a Fairbairn Sykes style dagger, it was always going to have a fine tip.
It should have come sharp though.
Well I'm okay with the point but being is a butter knife not cool, but In fairness it is a good looking knife and it does have a nice striker pommel on it, so it's not a complete waste. I mean if someone just wants it to collect it's fine or they want a great shank it's that too! Thanks for watching!
If it were half the price I’d buy in an instant. Just too expensive.
@timb8970 I understand Tim! I'm getting to where I just can't spend more than about $200 for a knife and I mostly spend under $100.00
That is one nice looking Combat Dagger! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
It is a beautiful dagger and 100% symmetrical! Thanks for watching!
The grip screws go through the narrowest points of the full tang. Potential weak spots.
Honestly I think this is nicer on a shelf in a collection, than as a weapon. There are daggers that slice and stab so why would someone want one that just stabs as a weapon. But I agree with you.
Nice clean lines
It is a damn good-looking dagger!
I have heard that the F&S knife was also dull along the edge. Used mainly for stabbing?
Yeah but there are daggers that do both and I prefer one that does both, but it is a good-looking dagger. It would be nice in a collection, but I like one that works and looks nice. People say sharpen it, well if you try to sharpen it, you have to take so much steel off to make the geometry right for being sharp, it wouldn't look so beautiful anymore. So it just really wasn't meant to be that sharp. I don't think it's really meant to use, I don't think anybody would take it overseas in a theater of war or something like that. But it would look nice in a collection.
Good looking dagger, thanks for sharing , God bless !
It is a pretty dagger Michael for sure and thank you as well brother God bless 🙏🏻
They propably send dull knife because you didn't get their countrys name right.😂😂😂 they knew it before you got the knife😂😂😂
what a shame , this and the spartan les george v14 are my top favourites. but i don't want a dull edge either.
Sorry I just seen your message, but I understand, it's really bad geometry, and if you made it slice, you'd have to take so much steel off, it would kind of defeat the purpose. But I just really don't care for a knife that doesn't slice you know. People leave messages and say sharpen it, you just can't sharpen it, it's not going to sharpen, you would have to remove so much Steel, you would turn a good-looking knife into an ugly knife. If somebody just wanted it to collect fine, but if you want it to slice, then it's probably not a good knife.
Wow I love this knife. Thank you for sharing brother.
It is pretty frog but I think at the edges would have to be laid back significantly to get it sharp so it's going back to Blade HQ... thanks for watching brother!
Hey, the thing is, laws are why shifty edges come on knives.
I wouldn't be surprised that too! It's still a good shank though! Lol
You send a knife back because it's not sharp?? Maybe you should look at videos on how to sharpen...
@@twalk6164 I have showed about sharpening, it's not a matter of sharpening, it has terrible geometry, if I'm going to have a dagger I want one that cuts and slices. If you lay this one back it's going to look like hell. Good-looking knife as it is though, if you want something in your collection to look pleasing to the eye.
What you take for it brother
They go for a 350 at Blade HQ I'm sending it back and they've already sent me the return label and I'm going to get something else from them it's good looking but it's really you'd have to really go into the sides and lay the edge back to get it Sharp I think it's why they just gave it the illusion of looking Sharp they didn't want to take away from the looks sorry brother.
If you want a sharp knife, buy something else! A stiletto don' t need to be sharp to be effective, is a stabbing knife...not a knife to cut bread of course.
They make daggers that stab and slice, they put an edge on it for a reason. Some don't have good geometry, others do. You don't know until you hold it and look at it up close, what the geometry is, but they make them that slab and slice.
th-cam.com/video/zieW5EtOuzs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=acYNUsK9Nv_95fS_
Did they offer to sharpen it or was it never meant to be bc that was the original design?
If you sharpen it you'd have to lay the edges back and it wouldn't look as good, I and I think it's meant more for collecting and looking at than really using, but they didn't offer and I just got my money back from Blade HQ. It is a good-looking knife but you'd have to really lay the edges back! I mean it's probably a 35° edge and it would have to come back to like 25 degrees so it's really going to really change the Aesthetics of the knife. I think if you want one that's a slicer there to pick something different, but it's good for shanking and the pommel for striking!
@@jerrydonquixote5927 a fair explanation and assessment. Thank you for answering my question.
@Sorcerersupreme007 you bet and thank you for watching friend!
@@jerrydonquixote5927 also, have you tried any Fairbairn-Sykes style dagger that’s a slasher and a stabber? Like the Spartan Harsey dagger?
@Sorcerersupreme007 I've had the Boker fairbairn style dagger and I like it although it doesn't have Skullcrusher, it's a good stabber slasher dagger. The originals are pretty cool I really don't care to have one there unless it was the real thing but I wouldn't pay what they go for but the originals were meant for one thing to they were meant to stab they weren't meant at all to use for slashing they had one purpose and that was to Shank and stab at close quarters. And they also have an impact pommel and I like that also, and I just want a knife that stabs and slashes that's just me.
Shame it has a edge that your unsatisfied with ,but as everyone else says and I agree it looks very good & high quality but it should have a sharp edge ,a dagger of good quality should be able to slice and well as thrust for a defense weapon style knife 🗡️⚔️🔪
Appreciate that I couldn't agree more, it is damn good-looking good-looking dagger but I want every knife I have to be useful. Not that I would even use it, but if I wanted to I would want it to serve its purpose.
guys....its a dagger ....not a slicer. A dagger is for stabbing!
@P well that's not a good theory because there's a lot of daggers that do both I see them I've owned them.
I started this group on Facebook to have a place to buy sell trade and discuss knives you're all welcome to join...m.facebook.com/groups/818568226045427/?ref=share
This is a wicked blade brother, what's the price on this bad boy
It is a pretty one 387.00 after taxes and free shipping from Blade HQ so pretty but not sharp but sure nice skull crusher on it too!
@@jerrydonquixote5927 way over my limit my friend, but I definitely appreciate you getting back to me, it's a beautiful piece
@@donavantew8278 sure thing we have to do some more horse trading soon brother.. .
@@jerrydonquixote5927not too bad really.
Did you ever stick a protractor on it to see inclusive angle of primary bevels?
@johnanon658 no I never did, I just got the Marine Raider Bowie from Ontario Knife Company and I laid the edge back on that one back with it a hatchet or axe sharpening puck. It did it real quick job of it too.
That's not made to slice. It's meant for stabbing. If you want to whittle, buy a bush craft knife.
@@jdsolberg7613 🤡
Depending on export laws they may not be able to ship it "sharp" - there are disclaimers stating that on Extrema Ratio's website when I was shopping daggers.. it changes the classification of the item to a "weapon" and places it in a different class of items that can't be ordered online, similar to the US's ITAR laws.
Just my guess. A false edge would not apply.
I appreciate your comment. I don't think so because they put a grind on each side they just didn't really bevel it down make it really sharp but it it is obviously sharpened but not a good job, more for looks but it is, it would be classified by anybody as a double-sided dagger there's no question about that. I think if they laid it back enough to make it sharp it would have taken away from from the Aesthetics that's my opinion. Good looking knife I'm just not wanting it even the ones I buy to collect I want to be useful.
I would have just taken it to get it sharpened for $14
It didn't have the blade geometry do it if you would have done that it would have made the blade look pretty bad I think, so it wasn't worth it to me. It had like a 50° angle on it I mean you would have hit the ground so deep into the blade that they just wouldn't look right I didn't buy to use I bought it for a collector's item but I want them to be able to be used to so it just wasn't for me. I know how to sharpen enough but to take that much still off I'll probably burn through two sharpeners. I didn't spend 350 on a knife to want to do all that. But it's a good looking. If you like it I would say buy it.
Yeah, op, the edge bevels were probably 60 degrees inclusive. Did you see how narrow the edge bevels went up into that thick blade? It could be sharp, but the edge bevels would need extensive regrind to 40 degrees or less, not a simple sharpening operation, and you would also have to expertly leave the last few mms at the original angle so the tip would not be too thin and fragile.
Just sharpen it
I'm not going to spend $400 on a knife and then remove 20% of the steel to make it sharp it wasn't designed to be sharp. I'm not interested in it! I don't want a display piece I want a knife.
@jerrydonquixote5927 well this knife is made with the internet to stab and kill not to slash or slice
@jerrydonquixote5927 the same with triple twist edge knife it's purpose is to kill nothing less nothing more
@williambrown234 there are many daggers out right now they will/stab and slice all of the above one being the Boker Applegate-Fairbairn. SOG made a few, Tops makes a couple as well.
@jerrydonquixote5927 oh I'm very well aware but this knife again job is to stab and kill only just like a tri-dagger or cyclone dagger even a trench knife main purpose was to stab and kill
Now here's an AG Russell dagger for war that slices and stabs for all the morons that think daggers are only for stabbing and not cutting!😂th-cam.com/video/TIpF13JDyWw/w-d-xo.html
Yes. It is an 1/8 thick only carbon steel blade that is flexible, hence isolating the specially ground tip from concentration of forces.
spartanbladesusa.com/shop-all/spartan-george-raider-dagger/
Got one of these. 3/16”c flat ground without a stupid fuller or tang in center of blade. can def take acute edges
…you just have to keep the edge angle at the tip more obtuse, like the ag russel sandbox dagger, so the tip is not too thin
Нож хороший, а ножны гавно.
Sorry it didn't translate, and I can't read your message.
Daggers are meant for stabbing. That would go right through Kevlar. Given a choice. I’d rather be slashed then stabbed any day.
People can live after being stabbed dozens of times but one slice across the vein that's it so good luck with that ideology. And not all daggers are made just for stabbing some slice and stab genius.
@@jerrydonquixote5927 , respectfully disagree.
@gordonj.wallis2826 nobody teaches that you stab instead of Fleet of Michael Janich and Jim Wagner. If you believe that a stab is worse than a slice then you don't know anything about knives or self-defense. There's people that have been stabbed dozens of times with long kitchen knives and survived it a couple of big slashes you're going to be hospitalized for a very long time if you even live so that's a silly thing to say that you'd rather be sliced than stabbed.
@gordonj.wallis2826 well that's fine but you're the only one that thinks that so I'm glad you're not teaching people about self-defense because you don't know anything about it.
