SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt with purpose and precision, the Skallywag Tactical D2 Dagger is a masterclass in modern combat design. Forged from robust D2 tool steel and crafted for piercing efficiency, this fixed blade dagger is sleek, durable, and unapologetically aggressive. Whether you're in the field or focused on personal protection, the D2 Dagger stands ready as a dependable and discreet tool.
The 2.5-inch plain edge dagger blade is crafted from D2 tool steel—an alloy prized for its toughness, wear resistance, and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. The symmetrical double-edged shape delivers maximum penetration with minimal resistance, making it ideal for defensive roles or quick-access situations. Coated in a black PVD finish, the blade resists corrosion and glare while enhancing its rugged, tactical appearance. It's a finish that not only performs under pressure but looks the part every step of the way.
At 0.2 inches thick, the D2 Dagger brings a surprising heft and rigidity to its compact frame, giving you confidence in its strength even during forceful use. The full tang construction extends through the handle, forging the blade and grip into one unified piece of steel. Unlike many knives, this model doesn’t separate the handle from the blade—it is the blade, through and through, with black PVD-coated D2 steel making up the entire structure.
The integrated handle is shaped for control and function, culminating in a finger ring that provides exceptional retention and grip security. Whether you prefer a forward or reverse hold, the finger ring allows for fluid transitions, increased retention, and confidence in close-quarters applications. The sleek profile of the handle keeps it streamlined, while still offering the comfort and stability you need when things get serious.
A black MOLLE sheath comes standard, fitted to the dagger’s profile for a secure, rattle-free carry. The draw is swift and intuitive, and re-sheathing is just as smooth. Whether you’re gearing up for duty, off-body carry, or simply prefer fixed blades with minimal bulk, this sheath-blade combo adapts to your needs.
Weighing in at just 3.9 ounces and measuring 7.75 inches overall, the D2 Dagger is the perfect blend of portability and power. It disappears under clothing but is always within reach when you need it most. It’s not a tool for the casual user—it’s for those who respect the importance of readiness, precision, and craftsmanship in every piece of gear they carry.
