Tactical HRT Boot Dagger with Blackened Blade and Ergonomic Grip
Construction and Practical Use
This knife is primarily designed as a back-up dagger for concealed carry. The symmetrical dagger-style (stiletto) blade is engineered for maximum penetration and precision. During handling, you will appreciate the ergonomically shaped handle made of rubberised plastic, which features aggressive texturing and an integrated guard. This effectively prevents your palm from slipping onto the edge during heavy use. Included in the package is a robust plastic sheath with a steel clip, which holds the knife securely while allowing for an immediate draw.

Historical Context and Interesting Facts
The concept of the boot knife has deep historical roots, having been used as a last resort of defence by soldiers, gamblers, and travellers in the Old West. These weapons saw a true renaissance during the trench warfare of the First World War. The design of this modern dagger loosely references the legendary Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knives, which became a symbol of the British Commandos. The H.R.T. acronym refers to the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team, for whose tactical deployments in confined spaces similar professional tools were originally developed.
Product Care and Safety
Even though the knife is made of stainless steel, ensure it is thoroughly dried after any use in damp conditions. While the black coating protects the steel, an occasional wipe with a cloth and a drop of fine oil will maintain its condition. The sheath can be cleaned with lukewarm water to remove dirt. Important Notice: This dagger features a very sharp blade and tip. For safety reasons, it is not intended for contact fencing practice, duelling, or HEMA activities. It is a sharp cutting tool. Never use the knife for prying or as a screwdriver, as this may cause irreparable damage to the tip. Exercise extreme caution when inserting the knife into the sheath to avoid injury from the double-edged blade. We recommend purchasing a high-quality whetstone to maintain the perfect edge and tactical gloves for an even more comfortable grip.
