From saloon doors to soldiers’ boots, the boot knife has long been a symbol of quiet confidence and last-resort resolve. The SZCO Brass Bolster Boot Knife honors this legacy with a timeless design that reflects the needs of those who value both discretion and dependability. Inspired by the hidden daggers once worn by 19th-century gamblers, lawmen, and battlefield soldiers, this fixed blade speaks to a heritage of survival and self-reliance.
At approximately 9 inches in overall length, the SZCO Brass Bolster Boot Knife is compact enough to be easily concealed yet substantial enough to handle real-world tasks. The 4.5-inch double-edged dagger blade is crafted from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring edge retention and minimal maintenance. Sharpened on both sides, the symmetrical blade is ideal for clean, precise piercing, making it effective in both utility and defensive applications.
The handle is made from Pakkawood—a tough, water-resistant wood-resin composite that offers the aesthetic of hardwood with the reliability of modern materials. It sits comfortably in the hand, providing both grip and balance in a variety of conditions. Polished brass accents at the guard and pommel not only elevate the knife’s visual appeal but also offer added weight for balance, making control easier during use.
The SZCO Brass Bolster Boot Knife comes housed in a genuine leather sheath designed for boot carry. Slim, form-fitting, and rugged, the sheath ensures discreet access while preserving the knife’s vintage look. Whether you're adding it to a historical gear ensemble, seeking a dependable secondary blade, or curating a traditional knife collection, this model stands out with character and authenticity.
This isn’t just a display piece—it’s built to be used. The full-tang construction delivers strength where it counts, while the classic styling makes it a nod to centuries of craftsmanship. SZCO has merged old-world charm with present-day reliability to deliver a knife that’s both storied and ready.
