Is there a dagger discussion forum hidden o here somewhere? I need a list of quality production makers and custom builders.
 
Spartan Blades, Boker, Cold Steel, Acta Non Verba, SOG, Steel Will, Bastinelli Creations, Eickhorn Solingen, Fox Knives, Knight Elements, RMJ Forge, Fallkniven, Ka-Bar, Extrema Ratio, Mercwerx, Citadel, Randall Knives.

All make a dagger or two. There are many more, these are just a few options.
 
I have made quite a few daggers. This is my newest model which I just got a handful of back from heat treatment, in 3/32" AEBL hardened to 62-63 RC. Looking forward to making these. At least one is going to get a combo blade, with one side plainedge and the other side serrated.

Did someone say Daggerday?

Vehement Knives F-S Fighting Knife, 'gunmetal' finish CPM154, blackened and knurled brass guard and handle. 1942-vintage Colt 1911A1. VK Dead King Louis bead in 'shipwreck' patina bronze by Robert Peterson of Mad Art Studios. Knuckle Duster (FOR ANTS!!!) by Matt Martin of Vehement Knives. All leather by his wife, Jenna, of Skinbender Leatherworks.

 
In addition to those mentioned above, I'd add Les George.

Oh! My! Really appreciate the replies so far. Really beautiful blades pictured too. I really haven't had a lot of daggers in fact I think only 4. Gerber mk1 ,Gerber river knife blackie Collins. The then prevalent Pakistani s,s, rosewood handle boot knife and a Sheffield fs. Everyone of them I broke the tip of or bent!! I was looking at the ag Russell sandbox dagger testing!! Wow! Is the thing really able to be sharpened to razor. Can't find a lot of information on the various ones listed. I like the shapes of a lot of them being listed. I am looking for a little blade heavy design within a 6to 7 +or- blade full tang maybe tapered to lighten it, integral gaurd that is wider than the blade. And a indestructible tip that spreads peanut butter well!!! Oh yeah want to be able to shave hair!! I'm doing my research! Thank so far. I'll look at some of the custom guys !
 
The winkler would be great if it had the integral gaurd that was wider than the blade by a bit. I wonder if the tang is tapered like my belt knife? Not a fan of the handle style of the randles though I love the blade shape.

You can't private message anyone without a paid account, but if you go to his account you can leave a public post on his wall, or I'm sure he will respond with his e-mail.

The options can really change the look of the knife.

I’m going to order a Model 2-8 with these options. Brass lugged hilt, scalloped brass collar, scalloped flanged brass butt cap stainless steel About $415 in options IMG_6086.pngIMG_6087.png
This is Sphinx3000 Sphinx3000 beautiful knife. I hope he doesn’t mind me posting it.

The model 2 is also available with a concave or finger groove handle shape.

Thinking of going production blade for now. Torn between the v14 and the sandbox dagger, for that size range. A rmj for a slightly smaller blade. It reminds me of the Gerber mk1!
