Sheep horn paired with a Damascus-patterned bolster gives this dagger’s handle real visual depth — cream horn set against the dark, forged pattern of the bolster, finished with the same high polish treatment carried through the blade itself.
What “Trekker” Means in This Collection
Trekker refers to a specific dagger profile in HM Knives’ range — built around a wide, substantial blade rather than the narrower double-edged shape more commonly associated with daggers generally. At 65mm wide and 5mm thick, this one leans toward genuine utility rather than a purely ornamental dagger shape.
Full Tang, Real Weight
At 450 grams, this has real substance in hand. Full tang construction means the J2 steel blade runs the entire length of the handle as one piece, giving it durability that matters more on a piece this substantial than it would on a lighter everyday knife.
The Handle Detail
Sheep horn in cream, paired with a black Damascus-patterned bolster — a combination that gives the handle two distinct textures and tones rather than one uniform material. File work along the spine adds a further tactile detail.
The Engraved Sheath
Hand-engraved leather in brown and black, built with belt space for real carry. The engraving is a genuine hand-worked detail, not a stamped or printed pattern.
Placing Your Order
Every dagger is made to order, typically 5-7 business days before it leaves the shop. Because the horn and Damascus bolster are hand-finished, expect minor individual variation between pieces. See the rest of our handmade hunting knives for other dagger and large-format options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a “trekker” dagger different from a standard dagger shape? It’s built around a wider, more substantial blade than the narrower double-edged shape typically associated with daggers — more oriented toward real utility than a purely ornamental profile.
Is the handle bolster genuine Damascus steel? Yes — it carries the same forged pattern as any Damascus blade in the collection, paired here with sheep horn rather than used as the blade material itself.
Will the sheep horn handle need special care? Keep it from prolonged soaking and dry it promptly if it gets wet, similar to any natural horn material.
Is the sheath engraving hand-done, or a printed pattern? Hand-engraved — expect natural variation in the exact pattern between individual pieces rather than a uniform, machine-stamped design.
