Persian-style dagger blades hold a distinct place in historical bladesmithing, recognized for their symmetrical profile and refined proportions compared to standard single-edge field knives. The Forestpoint Damascus Dagger continues that same historical shape as every Damascus Dagger we forge today. Camel bone handles carry their own history in traditional knife making, valued for natural strength and texture.
Damascus steel adds real forging tradition to this design, with the folding process giving each blade its own distinct wave pattern once etched.
Introduction
If you want a blade that reflects genuine Persian-style design, the Forestpoint Damascus Dagger delivers real historical character alongside modern craftsmanship. At 13 inches overall, with an 8.5-inch blade, it has the length and presence that defines this classic dagger profile. As a Pattern Welded Dagger, the full tang construction means the steel runs the entire length of the handle.
The camel bone handle offers a secure, natural grip, while the brass bolster adds strength and a refined, finished look. As a Forged Steel Dagger, it includes a wooden scabbard wrapped in leather for safe storage and display.
