The American Hunter Talon Dagger has a 6.25-inch satin stainless blade at 11 inches overall, a handle of stag bone, turquoise and brass, and a brown leather belt sheath.
Three materials in one handle is the reason to look at this. Stag bone, turquoise stone and brass are set in bands along the tang, a Southwestern combination that comes from silver and stone jewelry rather than from cutlery. Turquoise is soft and will scratch where bone and brass will not, so this is a display piece more than a working knife.
A dagger blade is symmetrical around the centerline, which suits piercing but rules out placing a thumb on the spine for pressure. At 11 inches overall with a 6.25-inch blade, the proportions are those of a presentation knife rather than a field one. Explore more Hunting Knives.
