Most people would say that a Dagger is usually considered to be a specific one purpose tool. But, many of us knife enthusiasts like to have a little diversity in our knife collections. A lot of us simply find Daggers to be pretty darned cool 😎
Heck, the coolness factor alone is usually reason enough for us to own at least one Dagger, with many of us actually owning quite a few of them!
Well, for those of you that own Daggers, which is your favorite? Which one would be the last Dagger you'd let go?

Here's my choice,
The Cold Steel Cinquedea...

I call this a "hybrid" (a knife made from parts of different knives).

The blade is from a United boot knife, the handle is from a SOG Desert Dagger, I made the aluminum hilt. I've had it for 20 years. It's basically like an old SOG Pentagon, but without the serrations.

Not only is it my favorite dagger, but due to it's uniqueness, and practicality, it's one of my top favorite fixed-blades. The blade is 3/16ths" thick, 4-7/8ths" long.

I've got a couple of Mark 1s and a couple Mark 1 presentation daggers...oh, and the 35th anniversary edition Mark 1. Plus an MBB M-9. And a few that I don't remember details about, offhand.
And this Tahar Raza that I bought a little over 10 yrs ago:View attachment 1819354
OMG ... how could I have forgotten my Randall 2-7 with desert ironwood and nickel silver?
The last one I'd let go? None are actually for sale; so it depends on how deep an interested party's pockets are.

A Dagger is a single purpose weapon. A big dagger is more effective in that the longer blade length allows deeper penetration to hit vitals. But the short dagger has the benefit of concealability. Daggers for military use have no need to be concealed so they have longer blades. Short bladed ones have come be known as boot knives. None of this matters if one is simply "collecting".
