Description

Winner of Blade Show West 2025 – “Best of the Rest,” the Custom Thumb Dagger from Frasier Knives is a masterclass in compact design and precision Damascus work. Small in footprint yet powerful in presence, it embodies craftsmanship that turns a simple defensive blade into a collectible piece of art.

Steel

  • 68-Layer Damascus forged and hand-finished to reveal flowing, organic grain lines that shimmer across both edges and central ridge. Each layer contributes to the strength, edge stability, and visual depth that define Frasier’s forge work.

Design & Geometry

  • Dual-edge dagger profile with centered symmetry and aggressive taper for piercing precision.

  • Thumb indexing grooves ensure confident control during fine manipulation or close-hand work.

  • Compact proportions make it equally suited as a discreet carry piece or a standout addition to any custom collection.

Fit & Finish

  • Polished spine transitions seamlessly into the ricasso for a tactile, balanced feel.

  • Handle contours are shaped for natural thumb placement, giving exceptional security and ergonomics despite the knife’s small size.

  • Each element—pins, guard, and grind—is executed with show-grade precision.

Presentation

  • Includes a hand-stitched leather sheath and protective pouch, both crafted to complement the blade’s character.

  • Acquired directly at Blade Show West 2025, where it earned Best of the Rest honors among elite custom makers.

Provenance & Purpose
Built as both a functional edge tool and a showcase of metallurgical artistry, this dagger exemplifies the refined workmanship coming out of Montana’s custom knife scene. For collectors seeking a small-format Damascus blade with award pedigree, the Frasier Thumb Dagger stands at the intersection of precision, power, and presentation.

Use & Care
  • Hand wash with warm soapy water and hand dry for maximum edge retention and stain resistance. For safety and edge protection, store dry knives in their leather sheath, in a wood block, or on a magnet designed to hold knives. For a full tune-up: free lifetime sharpening.
  • Do not put in the dishwasher - this will dull the knife.
  • For edge retention, cut only on wood or softer plastic cutting boards.
  • As needed, apply a light coat of mineral oil to the handle with a soft cloth to enhance vibrance.
