Chinese Dagger

The dragon, revered by oriental cultures, is by far the most powerful mythological beast of worship. Greatly feared, yet respected and loved, the incredibly mighty dragon is drawn to great riches, treasure and is a figure of uncompromising strength. The meaning of such a symbol can be translated to great wealth, power and total dominance.

The most valuable part of any knife however is its blade, with this T10 knife blade certainly forming a premium quality foundational core of this fully functional and sharp dagger. 

Characteristics include a hard, reliable battle edge, which will hold its edge and stay sharp for longer than any other steel used for blade-smithing. Furthermore, the blade encapsulates good resilience and elasticity, as one would expect from any combat functional blade.

Further promoting perfection, is the very difficult process of clay tempering the blade. This process precisely facilitates hardening of the blade’s edge, while leaving the blade’s core and spine softer and thus resilient. Definitely a marker of advanced blade making technology and visibly identifiable on this knife’s blade. 

Perfect for a personal collection, decorative dagger display and a razor sharp and deadly, double edged dagger knife.
