SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Damascus 1113 Dirk is a striking blend of traditional craftsmanship and rugged utility, built for collectors and outdoorsmen who appreciate the beauty of steel and the feel of a solid blade in hand. Made in Pakistan, this fixed blade dagger brings together the eye-catching allure of Damascus steel with practical materials designed to withstand use in the field or on display.
The 7-inch blade is crafted from genuine Damascus steel, known for its layered patterning and time-honored forging technique. With a thickness of .18 inches, the double-edged dagger profile is built for thrusting, piercing, and clean cuts. Whether you're adding to a collection or preparing for field use, this blade’s symmetry and strength speak to its versatility and balance. Each Damascus pattern is unique, giving every knife an individual look that highlights the traditional steel folding process.
Paired with the blade is a twisted black Pakkawood handle, shaped for control and visual impact. Pakkawood offers a durable, water-resistant alternative to natural hardwood, while maintaining a rich, dark grain that complements the Damascus steel beautifully. The handle is reinforced with stainless steel and brass spacers and guard, adding contrast and durability to the design. These metal accents not only enhance the knife’s structure, but they also lend it a timeless style that feels at home in both historical and modern collections.
Measuring 5.5 inches, the handle provides ample grip without being oversized, offering a comfortable hold for display, martial arts practice, or general cutting needs. The full knife measures 12.37 inches overall and weighs 11.68 ounces, striking a solid balance between size and handling. The weight gives the blade presence without being cumbersome.
The 1113 Dirk includes a brown leather sheath with a belt loop for safe carry or display. The sheath is well-fitted and rugged enough for everyday use, with a classic look that matches the blade’s old-world aesthetic.
This knife offers a bold statement of function and style, whether you're a reenactor, hunter, or enthusiast looking for a standout piece. Order it today from SMKW!
