Description
Bronze Fist is the traditional build. A D2 spear point taken to a full mirror polish, a solid brass bolster, and a T-grip of figured rosewood in deep copper red pinned in brass. Nothing tactical about it — this is the push dagger as a gentleman’s piece.
The blade is double-edged with a centre fuller, both edges ground and sharpened by hand. The T-grip crosses the palm, which is why a blade this short feels so solid in the hand.

Care: D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel — highly rust resistant but not rust proof. Wipe the blade dry after use and oil it lightly before long storage. A mirror polish shows fingerprints more than satin — a soft cloth keeps it bright. Wipe the wood clean with a damp cloth and rub in a little wood wax or oil two or three times a year so it does not dry out. The brass will darken to a warm patina over time; polish it if you prefer it bright. Do not store the knife inside the leather sheath for long periods.
FAQs
What is a push dagger?
A short double-edged blade set at ninety degrees to a T-shaped handle. The grip sits across your palm with the blade between your middle and ring fingers, so the force comes from the whole arm rather than the wrist. It is the most secure way there is to hold a small blade — it cannot twist or be pulled out of the hand.
⚠ Is a push dagger legal where I live?
Check before you order. Push daggers are restricted or prohibited in a number of US states and cities, and in many countries outside the US, more tightly than ordinary fixed blades. Laws vary and change. It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm local law before purchase or carry.
Is the leather sheath included?
Yes. The dark brown leather sheath with a brass stud shown in the photograph is moulded to this blade. It ships with the knife at no extra cost.
How do I sharpen a double-edged blade?
Treat each edge separately, keeping the same angle on both sides of each bevel, and work from the ricasso to the point in short sections. A small stone or ceramic rod is easier than a full bench stone on a blade this size.
How good is D2 for a small fixed blade?
Very good. D2 runs around 58–60 HRC and holds an edge far longer than the stainless most small knives use. It is semi-stainless rather than fully stainless, so keep it dry.
Is rosewood a good handle material?
Excellent. Rosewood is dense and naturally oily, so it is stable, hard wearing and resists moisture better than most timbers, and it takes a deep natural polish without any coating. Every handle has its own grain and colour.
