Talon Dagger | M48 – fixed blade dagger for outdoor and tactical use

The M48 Talon Dagger is a fixed blade knife featuring a 17.46cm blade length and 29.52cm overall length. Constructed from 2Cr13 stainless steel with a black oxide coating and satin finish, this dagger combines durability with corrosion resistance for demanding field applications.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 2Cr13 stainless steel, offering balanced hardness and maintenance requirements. The dagger profile features a symmetrical double-edged design with plain-edge grind. The G10 handle incorporates paracord wrapping for enhanced grip security in wet conditions. Total length measures 29.52cm with a blade length of 17.46cm.

Application and use

This fixed blade serves primarily for penetrating tasks in outdoor and tactical environments. The dagger design excels at piercing through rope, webbing, and wood materials. Less suitable for precision cutting or food preparation due to its symmetrical blade geometry. Intended for bushcraft, camping, and backup field use rather than everyday carry.

Integration and compatibility

Supplied with a nylon sheath featuring retention snap closure for secure carry and rapid deployment. The fixed blade design requires no opening mechanism or locking system. The paracord lanyard provides additional retention during active use.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 2Cr13 stainless steel composition provides inherent corrosion resistance, requiring minimal maintenance. The black oxide coating with satin finish adds protection against environmental exposure. Regular cleaning and dry storage recommended, with periodic sharpening to maintain edge geometry.
