Hand-forged in Finland, the Waisted Art Dagger blends heritage and high art. Its four-bar Damascus blade reveals a vivid pattern born from layered steel and meticulous hammer work. The guard and pommel are forged from antique wrought iron, lending depth, authenticity, and a tangible sense of history.

Shaped and embellished buffalo-horn handle offers a refined, balanced grip and completes the composition with dignified elegance. A decorated leather sheath accompanies the dagger, protecting the blade and underlining the piece’s ceremonial presence.

Created by JT Pälikkö, one of Finland’s renowned master bladesmiths, this dagger embodies the aesthetics, material honesty, and precision that define Nordic knife tradition—crafted here as collectible knife art.

Keep the blade clean and lightly oiled to preserve the Damascus pattern. Store in a dry place avoid prolonged storage in the leather sheath.
