Folding knife with dagger blade

[Chrigel]

Hello everyone

I have been looking for a manual folding knife with a double-edged dagger blade for some time now. Unfortunately, I have not yet found a suitable knife, partly because there is not much choice. Now I wanted to ask if you have any suggestions. What do you think?

It is important that the knife can really only be opened manually, without a spring, otherwise it is forbidden for me.

In terms of cost, my limit would be a maximum of 400-500 dollars. It is important to me that the knife makes a high-quality impression. Preferably I am looking for a knife that is a bit more special than boring G10 handle scales. But I am open to any suggestions.

I look forward to your suggestions and thank you in advance.

Best regards
Chrigu

Thank you, but unfortunately this knife is not available where I live. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Gerber Applegate, maybe? There are several flavours of choice.
Boker Plus Pocket Smatchet could be another candidate.

There is a civivi. But it's single edged I think.

Bear with me.

Some nice examples from the great Phill Harvey.

Sorry, only now I read your budget. Better forget my examples.

Full double edge is tough, since that means the blade has to be thin enough to fit fully in the handle and that is very uncommon. If you are okay with a false second edge, but like that shape, SOG Pentagon Elite 2 is pretty good. Try to find an older one.

That was the only one I could find anywhere for any price.

Good find.

CRKT Redemption?

Gerber Applegate folders can have their false edges sharpened/polished, and as the blades are completely shrouded by the handle this is relatively safe.

CRKT Redemption?

This was my first thought as well.

I have these with dagger style blades but none have a sharpened spine.

Paragon Warlock?

NM- if you can’t have springs, you probably can’t have the Warlock either. :/

Look no further than my absolute favorite Les George MK3

the old boker escrima folder was a dagger folder with room when blade is folded closed to sharpen the top edge and use if wanted. discontinued but not real hard to find one.....

Spyderco Euroedge
The upcoming Terzuola Pacifico from Fox knives
Any number of microtech OTF

This was my first thought as well.

it could be done, but really not enough room to sharpen top edge closed and still be safe. you'd have to remove a lot of material to make it safe. someone did it and posted pics, but it's borderline on safe enough to carry, to me.

Are we talking a dagger blade, which with folders often simply has a false top edge, or an actual folding dagger with two sharp edges?
