Dark Assassin Dagger with Sheath

For an under 10 dollar knife, these "assassin daggers" are 5-star. I bought 2 of them to go along with a renaissance-type costume, and they are perfect for it. But even though these are fantasy knives (ie, display knives), they still have a very real, factory-sharpened stainless steel blade. They are not razor sharp, but they are certainly sharp enough to cause real damage. Of course you can always hone the edges further, yourself, but you shouldn't need to because the real design of this type of dagger was for stabbing & thrusting. The point needed to be sharp, but it wasn't necessary for the edges to be razor sharp since they were meant to simply cause a hole that would cause profuse bleeding, rather than a slice or a cut. The sheath is ABS black plastic (which is pretty rugged) with a starburst design, and ornate cast metal on both ends. It gives the little knife some weight. The dagger's V-shaped hand guard matches right up against the sheath top, which has a little chain attached, I guess to hook it onto your belt or something. But the chain is weak, I wouldn't really trust them for actual wear, so I replaced them with black cord in order to tie them to my belt securely. If you're just using the knife for display, the chain is better, visually. The blade stays snugly in the sheath because there's foam inside, which also prevents scratching the blade or having it rattling around. With cheaper fantasy knives, it seems that something is usually loose & rattling, but happily that is not the case with these. The blade is brushed stainless steel with a blood groove down the center on one side. The handles are made with the same ABS black plastic, with cast metal rings around it. On the pommel of the handle there is a punch-spike (to which I have customized further by attaching a tassel :). I couldn't tell you how far the blade tang goes into the handle but they seem awfully sturdy. If you attempt to use this dagger as a throwing knife, it will absolutely ruin it (they're not even designed or balanced for throwing) but aside from that even though they're display knives, they have the potential to be quite functional. Fortunately both sides of the dagger & sheath are the same, which is nice because sometimes with fantasy knives, only one side has all the designs on it. Well that about covers it! For the price, 5 stars, you can't go wrong. They're cheap, made with lower-end materials, but they're not cheaply made...and I've seen my share of crappy fantasy knives. They are great on display & great for cosplay, and I imagine they would also be great for self-defense if ever the situation arises & you happen to have one of these strapped to your leg or something. They are sturdy enough that as long as you don't abuse them, they should hold together for quite some time.

Got this on sale for approx $8 and free shipping with Prime. At that cost, this is a pretty decent box cutter/letter opener/(cheap) costume piece. I knew what to expect with this so I was not disappointed, but here are some things people ought to know: - At this price point, the only thing metal is the blade itself. The sheath is notably thin, but the handle/hilt is pretty sturdy. - The blade is sharp (machined), but not consistent in the edge. some additional sharpening may be required if you care about that - The "belt loop" is essentially the same you'd find on an 8yr olds wallet chain. Will not fit a thicker belt nor will it hang properly, or even sheath properly. If you want to wear it, be prepared to make some modifications - or wear a really thin belt. Again, this is a good looking, but cheap item. It looks great when compared to similarly prices items. I don't think I would have given it 5 stars if it had been more than $10. But at 8 dollars, you can look cool slicing open that letter and won't get upset when the thing dulls or the plastic cracks.

I bought this as a prop to a costume for Halloween, but apparently didn't read the description well enough because this thing is sharp enough to kill someone. Couldn't use it for what I wanted without getting in trouble with campus police. But just because I'm dumb and didn't read the description doesn't mean it's a bad product. The product is very high quality for the price you pay for it. After receiving it, I was honestly surprised the price was so low. It was sharp enough to hurt without much effort, but it wasn't sharp enough to cut anything effortlessly like some of the more expensive knives you can buy on this site. It had some weight to it, and although the black part of the handle and sheath were made of plastic, it wasn't necessarily cheap plastic. The blade fit into the sheath snugly. It wasn't a struggle to push in or pull out, but it also wasn't loose enough that the sheath just falls off. The blade isn't 100% metal, but it wasn't a cheap material. Again, it's very high quality for the price you pay. I'm giving the product 4 stars because there were a few imperfections that will more than likely vary slightly between products. For example, there was a sliver of the plastic of the sheath that stuck out and had to be pulled off. The chain was the cheapest part of the knife. It was made of pure plastic with no metal and seemed like it would break off with barely any effort. The knife could honestly have just gone without the chain and been fine. Overall I was impressed by the product, however.

It was very knife, and was very clean and felt nice and felt very crisp when taking it out of it’ sheath

This was excellent. I bought this for my Wiccan rituals. I had got the cheapest one assuming it will be flimsy and I will only use it to carve candles and no other blade use. First off it arrived early, although I know that has nothing to do with the product I just was extremely happy it was early. The blade is double edge, and can be sharpened as it came dull. It is very lightweight, which I would not prefer for the intent of a knife, but for its intended use it was perfect. Most of it is an extremely sturdy and durable plastic that looks great. Mine came with a chain although I saw others did not get it. It also has a spot at the top to put string or what have you in it. I held it upside down and shook it. With a tight grip and lose grip on the sheath. It did not come out or rattle except for the chain. It did fall out with vigorous shaking but I doubt that is a normal amount of shaking. This is great and I would recommend it for what ever other uses, be it a costume (for adults obviously) or decoration or actual use. Its not a 70 dollar knife so its not perfect but it is great for its price.

I have a big liking for weapons, so I like to collect them. I ordered this and a finger claw, it's the most common one you'll see when you search it, I was excited for this and the claw to arrive. I must say, when this thing arrived, I was nervous to see how it would turn out... Let me say that it is just perfect... or at least pretty darn close. It's got a nice weight to it, but I only say that because I'm used to holding my homemade wooden weapons which are pretty lightweight. Real sturdy and has a nice feel to it. I love how the sheathe is tight so it doesn't jingle around loosely and the blade is nice and thin, smaller than I thought it'd be, but still real nice. The chain gives it a less generic look, although I don't know if I'd trust it to hold the dagger's weight on a belt so I wouldn't try it. Overall, it's a really good dagger and it'll fit right into my simple collection of weapons, I'm sure it could fit in yours too. for ten bucks, I'd say it's a steal, and I got it on sale for seven bucks or so, but hey, I ain't complaining! Good buy, if the looks interest you, I'm sure it won't fail to live up to expectation. go give it a shot!

Purchased this dagger to replace one that was stolen out of my car. The old one was one of my favorite knives and was in fact a gift. Having already owned the knife before, my expectations were to recieve a dagger of equal quality. This knife appeared to be the exact same in the images... But it is not. It LOOKS exactly like my old dagger, but that is where the similarities end. My old dagger had metal fittings on both ends of the sheathe, however, the new fittings are made of plastic. There is a chain attached that I do not remember being there when I purchased the old one, it is flimsy and seems like it would fall apart easily if one tried to use it for anything besides aesthetics. The blade itself is alright, it is a bit narrower, and a bit less sharp than I remember, but that can change. The blade quality is the same soft metal it was on the other. The handle's metal is a soft metal as well, something I don't remember being true of the other (though it probably was,) the metal is a bit torn up along the hilt, and there is a small ding on the dagger's pommel. The plastic under the handle is slightly caved in on one side. It is almost as if I recieved this dagger damaged, as I don't remember my old dagger being in this condition when I recieved it. All in all, I have to say, knowing what I had before and looking at this, knowing what it could be, this is a sheer and utter dissapointment. I would not have purchased this knife had I been given the chance to look at it in person first. The quality from the manufacturer has dropped significantly since my original aquisition in 2009. At one time this dagger was worth the $30 it was marked as, now, I regret spending less than $10. I believe that says it all. Avoid at all costs.

Bought it as a birthday gift for my brother and he loved it comes in a nice pre presentation box

A great addition to a blade collection. Detailed as well and comes in a nice box.

Another nice collection piece for my husbands collection

This is a really cool knife I just use it for display, but I never used it for cutting. when I wore this knife on a belt and took the knife out and put it back in the chain broke but I bet you can fix it.

Definitely only for display, wouldn’t cut through anything. Handle has some weird paint issues and is a little shaky. Can’t deny it looks cool though

For the price I paid and the price of shipping and duty. I was very disappointed in the product, if I had known it was partly plastic I would have never ordered it.
