The Eickhorn DAGGER 2000 Model is the pinnacle of QUALITY when it comes to fighting knives. This German made dagger is based off of the legendary Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife, which has proven itself in countless hand to hand encounters. Eickhorn took Fairbairn's design and made it STRONGER with an increased diamond cross section, making it far more USABLE for all of your self defense needs. The Modern German commando has been fortunate to have been issued such a blade. Make no mistake, these well tempered Solingen steel blades are made to flex 30 degrees with no damage. One drawback of cheaply made daggers is they have a tendency to snap under stress, failing you when you need it most. Eickhorn's Daggers are made to be used hard, and won't let you down when your life is on the line. COLLECTOR VALUE We have purchased the last 50 knives directly from Eickhorn that sport the elegant, and extremely durable aluminum handles. All current models are being fitted with weighted polymer handles. While these new plastic handles are durable and perfectly functional, they don't feel quite as good in the hand compared to our sleek aluminum handles. Subjectively speaking, the new blockey handles lack a certain degree of class that our daggers offer. Most importantly, unlike the newer polymer handles, our aluminum hilts are designed to break heavy glass or bludgeon opponents with ease. You have an opportunity to buy a dagger that looks as good as it functions, and be proud to pass it on to your grandchildren knowing full well that it will serve them as dependably as it did you. Furthermore, we are offering these daggers for the same price as the plastic hilted ones. When these last 50 knives are sold, it will be next to impossible to buy a new one at this price.
