Giraffe Bone Dagger with U.S. Marine Corps Pins
Description:
B.A. Dodson fixed blade with a CPM 154 stainless-steel blade, giraffe-bone handle, and U.S. Marine Corps pins. This was Burt’s first attempt at making a dagger, completed about six months after he returned to knifemaking following a 20-year break. Owned and used by Frank Clegg for approximately six years, with normal wear visible on the guard and a blade that has been sharpened numerous times during use. (2019)
OWNER FEEDBACK
“I asked Burt to make me this dagger with the guard extending on both sides of the blade for safety. It’s thick, sturdy, and feels exceptionally solid.”
Of course, Burt and I share pride in the Marine Corps pins he used to hold the handle in place. It’s just a piece of art when you really get down to it.
Look, I didn’t buy this knife or the other three knives for display, but for functional use. However, it’s always in the back of my mind to be careful with these knives. They are one of a kind, all parts handmade. His craftsmanship just blows me away.”
