Ceremonial Dagger

The most valuable part of any knife however is its blade, with this folded steel dagger blade certainly forming a premium quality foundational core of this deadly, double edged dagger. 

Forged with folded steel, which is a mixture of 1045 soft steel, 1060 high carbon steel, manganese spring steel and many more smaller portions of other steels. This mixture is then folded multiple times to remove impurities, creating many hundreds of individual steel layers, finally producing arguably the best sword & knife-making steel available, a technique renowned for smithing blades from both the oriental and middle-eastern regions of the world. 

With this folded steel, the blade is then forged into an 8-sided octahedral blade shape, which is both aesthetically distinctive and on a more practical level, significantly strengthens the blade’s structure. 

Perfect for a personal collection, decorative dagger display and a razor sharp and deadly, Chinese dagger.
