During the 15th and 16th centuries, daggers like this were also known as 'baselards' and were commonly used by soldiers as a secondary weapon. This modern fixed-blade Boker Swiss Dagger is made with Chad Nichols Mosaic Damascus. Mosaic Damascus involves folding, loosening parts, and re-forging them in a different order, resulting in a distinctive pattern. This process is more labor-intensive and error-prone than producing regular Damascus steel, but it yields a uniquely beautiful finish. A polished stainless steel pommel and hand guard accentuate the stark black ebony handle. The hand-sewn leather sheath completes this exquisite knife. Add this collectible to your arsenal today!
