BLACKHAWK® XSF Micro Plain Edge Dagger

most armor doesnt protect against stabbing lest they say so, theyre designed to absorb the energy of high velocity pojectiles by distributing the force thats why when they make kevlar they use scissors to cut the sheets into shape so just any decent knife will go though a vest no prob lest there are ceramic plates
 
Here's a link I had to shorten from Brigade Quatrermasters, same knife:

They give you a better close up view of it. Apparently some frostback special forces operator designed this. I wonder why? Is it made for piercing bull necked SF types?
 
Brent Beshara who was an apprentice to Wally Hayes (Mastersmith and Swordsmith out of Canada) is the designer of this Besh wedge tip. He made custom fixed blades with the design before MOD/Blackhawk picked it up.

Brent was a member of the Canadian military and special forces.
 
Dispatching vampires was the first thing that came to mind.

That Beshara guy looks like no one to mess with.

From another angle that knife looks like it has a sharpened edge? Does anyone know fersure?

Brent's a great guy, and not one to mess with :)

It is actually 2 chisel grinds (on oppossing sides to form a dagger) that go to the tip and form almost a cork screw effect . So it will stab , but be strong .

That shape makes more sense now. So it is VERY well designed. Thanks for clearing away the cobwebs.
 
i have one of those. its very small and slim, so much so that its almost hard to get a really good grip on it. this also makes it very light and easy to conceal/carry. its not very expensive, so if your curious anyway and end up not liking it you wont be out too much money. however, if you are looking for good small back up/last ditch self defense weapon like that i would recommend the emerson/perrin la griffe or the basic strait blade hideaway knife; both of these are around 65 dollars or so.

i havent tried the blackhawk push dagger, but i would bet that it would be better than the regular dagger.
 
Is it mainly a gimmick, or does it really function? Anybody ever seen any well-controlled tests of penetration/strength of this style blade vs. a normal dagger (e.g. fairbairn-sykes) vs. a blade like the Applegate version that sought to improve tip strength by simply making the tip more broad.
