8” Damascus Double Edge Dagger Knife Spear Point Blade Wooden Handle Crossguard Fixed Blade

The dagger is one of the oldest blade forms known to mankind, prized for centuries for its symmetry, balance, and elegant double-edged profile. Carried by knights, noblemen, and travelers throughout history, the spear-point dagger became as much a mark of status and craftsmanship as a tool. Its clean, symmetrical lines have made it a timeless favorite among collectors and history lovers.

As bladesmithing advanced, makers began forging daggers from Damascus steel and developing intricate patterns like the prized feather pattern, where the layered steel forms a striking quill-like design down the blade. Paired with matching Damascus guards and pommels, these daggers became true showpieces. This handmade Damascus dagger carries that heritage forward an elegant, collector-grade piece with full-tang strength.

FAQs

What is the feather pattern of Damascus steel and why is it special on a dagger? 

Feather pattern is a prized Damascus style where the forging and folding process is manipulated to create a quill-like design running down the blade, resembling a feather's spine and barbs. It's harder to achieve than standard patterns, making each feather-pattern dagger a true showpiece as well as a finely forged blade.

What are the blade and handle lengths on this Damascus feather dagger? 

This dagger features a 5-inch pakka wood handle paired with a feather-pattern Damascus blade, for an overall length of around 12–13 inches. The balanced proportions give it an elegant, substantial feel that's ideal for display and collection. Please confirm the exact blade length on the listing.

Are the guard and pommel on this dagger also forged from Damascus steel? 

Yes. Both the guard and the pommel are made from Damascus steel to match the flowing pattern of the blade, giving the dagger a fully coordinated, premium look. Beyond their striking appearance, they add balance and a solid, substantial feel in the hand.

Are double-edged daggers legal to own and carry in my particular area? 

Laws vary widely; double-edged daggers are restricted or prohibited in some US states and localities. Ownership, sale, and carry rules differ by jurisdiction, so always check your local and state laws before purchasing or carrying one. When in doubt, confirm your local regulations first.

How do I care for the Damascus dagger to keep it rust-free over time? 

Wipe and dry the blade right after handling, then apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade, guard, and pommel. Store the dagger in its sheath or on a display mount away from humidity, and avoid dishwashers and prolonged moisture, which can damage the Damascus pattern and lead to rust.
