The double-edged dagger profile centers the tip along the blade midline with equal geometry on both sides — built for precise piercing, controlled utility cuts, and symmetrical cutting tasks where a single-edge blade loses geometry on the return stroke. The rasp steel flat carries its natural forged texture as a visual surface marker of the steel's origin — no decorative grind, no applied finish. Full tang construction runs the complete length through the pinecone resin handle and distributes weight evenly from blade tip to pommel for stable and controlled use during EDC and field utility tasks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle and Guard Construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe handle is shaped from natural pinecone scales set in blue turquoise resin. The pinecone material preserves its natural texture and warm amber-brown color inside the stabilized resin matrix — no two pinecone resin handles carry an identical pattern. The blue turquoise resin fill contrasts sharply against the natural pinecone tone, giving this handle a bold visual identity distinct from standard wood or plain resin handles. A steel finger guard sits between the blade and handle, protecting fingers from sliding onto either cutting edge during controlled piercing and utility tasks. A brass lanyard hole at the pommel allows secure wrist or belt lanyard carry for EDC use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest Used
