For those who value both form and function in a fixed blade, the Rite Edge Commando Dagger with Wood Handle and Damascus Steel Blade delivers a striking balance of combat-inspired design, rich materials, and everyday usability. Combining the classic silhouette of a double-edged dagger with the rugged beauty of Damascus steel, this knife is as much a showpiece as it is a reliable field tool.
The star of the show is the 7.62-inch Damascus steel blade, forged in the iconic dagger style. Known for its razor-sharp double edge and symmetrical spear-point design, this blade offers penetrating power and slicing precision from either side. Damascus steel is not only admired for its legendary cutting performance, but also for its stunning pattern—swirling, wavy lines created by folding layers of steel during the forging process. These patterns are more than cosmetic—they reflect strength, resilience, and the craftsmanship behind every piece.
The rat tail tang construction ensures the blade is securely anchored into the handle, providing strength while keeping the overall weight manageable. This is especially important for dagger-style knives, which are often used for thrusting and piercing motions. Whether you're adding to a military-style collection, using it as a ceremonial blade, or simply looking for a striking fixed blade for display or carry, this dagger performs with purpose.
The textured wood handle brings a traditional and earthy element to the design. Its grain patterns and deep, warm tones contrast beautifully with the silvery etching of the Damascus blade. The handle is ergonomically shaped for a comfortable grip and accented by a matching Damascus steel guard and pommel. These added details not only enhance the knife's durability and balance but also elevate its overall visual appeal, giving the blade a consistent and refined aesthetic from tip to tail.
At 12.5 inches overall, the Rite Edge Commando Dagger has a commanding presence. And weighing in at just 8.15 ounces, it’s easy to maneuver and carry without sacrificing size or effectiveness. It comes equipped with a genuine leather sheath, which features a convenient belt loop for secure and accessible carry in the field, at events, or on display.
Whether you’re a knife collector, historical enthusiast, or simply appreciate a blade with character and craftsmanship, the Rite Edge Commando Dagger offers an affordable, high-impact addition to your lineup. Its traditional materials, combat-style build, and elegant Damascus steel construction make it a standout piece with real-world functionality.
The Rite Edge Commando Dagger showcases a 7.62” patterned Damascus blade and a rich wood handle with matching steel guard and pommel.
