Cold Steel Drop Forged Boot Knife 52100 Dagger

Minimalistic boot knife crafted from a single piece of 52100 steel, renowned for its exceptional strength and high resistance to chipping. The design incorporates a blade with a dagger-shaped profile and a flat grind finish. A black coating provides a matte appearance across the entire construction. Supplied with a Secure-Ex sheath for practical and secure everyday carry.

high-carbon 52100 steel

Forged from high-carbon 52100 steel, the knife provides excellent resistance to chipping and offers notable durability against wear. While not stainless and requiring regular upkeep and surface treatment, its superior cutting abilities and high resistance to wear rank it among the top choices for classic carbon steels.

symmetrical dagger blade with black coating

Featuring a dagger-style blade measuring 127 mm in length and 4.5 mm in thickness, the blade offers a smooth cutting edge finished with a flat grind. A black coating covers the entire knife to provide corrosion resistance and reduce glare.

steel handle, double-sided cross guard

The steel handle is ergonomically contoured to reduce the chance of your hand sliding onto the cutting edge, enhanced by the presence of a double-sided cross guard for added safety. A hole at the base of the handle enables the attachment of a cord or lanyard for increased versatility.

Secure-Ex sheath

The knife comes with a sheath designed in the Secure-Ex system, crafted from a material that is lightweight, robust, and resistant to weather conditions. A fitted inlet ensures the knife remains safely in place during transport. Multiple holes and slots provide versatile mounting options for attaching to a belt or other gear.

Secure-Ex feature
Secure-Ex
Secure-Ex is a system developed by Cold Steel, designed for the safe storage and convenient carrying of knives and tools. Sheaths made with this technology are lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making them suitable even for intensive use. They hold the knife securely in the sheath while allowing for quick and smooth draw. The system has a modular design - the sheaths can be supplemented with various fasteners, such as buckles, clips (e.g., C-Clip) or ball chains. This allows the knife to be worn on a belt, around the neck, or in other configurations, according to the user's preferences.
52100 feature
52100
52100 is an American bearing steel with a carbon content of 0.98-1.1%, valued in cutlery for its strength, resistance to chipping, and ability to maintain sharpness. The chromium content (1.3-1.6%) improves abrasion resistance and aids the hardening process. It also contains manganese (0.25-0.45%) and silicon (0.15-0.35%), which increase the strength and elasticity of the steel. After proper hardening, the steel reaches a hardness of 62-64 HRC, making it an ideal material for the production of bushcraft, survival, and hunting knives. Although it is not stainless steel and requires proper maintenance and protective coatings, its cutting properties and wear resistance make it one of the best choices among traditional carbon steels.

    This is exactly the kind of dagger I needed, I have the 'Chaos' version and this one is smaller, making it easier and more handy for everyday tasks. The clip on the sheath is useful, allowing you to easily fasten the knife to a belt loop parallel to your belt. It requires a bit of sharpening and then it's ready to go. In my opinion, the knife is very good depending on its intended use.

    A fine little dagger, the paint comes off, but underneath it looks even nicer! It's worth measuring before buying – it's rather a subtle little toy.
