High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESCrafted with the same relentless dedication and discipline it honors, the Stroup Knives Green Beret Foundation Heritage Dagger is more than just a blade—it's a statement of purpose. Designed in partnership with the Green Beret Foundation, this full-sized fixed blade is modeled after the ceremonial dagger presented to graduates of the U.S. Army Special Forces Qualification Course. It captures the enduring legacy of the Green Berets while delivering practical performance for serious users.
The blade is forged from 1095 high carbon steel, known for its durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Each dagger is heat treated and precision-ground in the USA, resulting in a double-edged profile with four symmetrical bevels. This unique geometry provides excellent cutting, piercing, and thrusting capabilities, making it equally suited for field use, collection, or ceremonial display.
Its full tang construction ensures strength from tip to pommel, while the contoured G10 handle scales offer a secure, textured grip—even in adverse weather or demanding conditions. With its balanced weight and rugged finish, this dagger is made to stand up to the rigors of real-world use while honoring its elite inspiration. Each piece is carefully hand-assembled by Stroup Knives, a veteran-owned company committed to precision craftsmanship and patriotic purpose.
The Heritage Dagger is more than just gear—it's a piece of history made accessible to those who support the warrior ethos. While the official Green Beret-issued version is reserved for graduates, this civilian model serves as a tribute to the Special Forces community and its traditions. Ten percent of all proceeds are donated directly to the Green Beret Foundation, helping support active-duty soldiers, veterans, and their families.
Whether you're a military enthusiast, a collector, or someone who values hard-use tools with meaning, the Heritage Dagger offers heritage-grade construction and combat-proven aesthetics. It's a blade you’ll be proud to carry—or display—for years to come. Get your very own piece of history at SMKW!
