Refined, precise, and built with classic dagger styling in mind, the Gentleman Dirk Knife Kit is a USA-made hidden tang platform designed for makers who want to craft a traditional-inspired fixed blade with modern materials and clean geometry. Drawing from the iconic Scottish dirk profile, this kit delivers a balanced 14-inch overall dagger design that is equally suited for display, collection, or custom craftsmanship projects.
At the core of the Gentleman Dirk is a 9-inch double-ground blade forged from 440C stainless steel, heat treated to 54–56 HRC for dependable edge retention and long-term durability. A central blood groove enhances both visual character and structural balance, while the satin finish gives the blade a clean, refined appearance that highlights its symmetrical dagger form.
The hidden tang construction is designed for versatility and creativity, featuring four pre-drilled 0.187-inch pin positions spaced for flexible handle configuration. This allows builders to customize alignment, structure, and fastening style depending on their chosen handle material. A slip-over oval brass guard is included in every kit, along with brass pinstock for secure assembly and traditional styling.
This series is offered in multiple configurations ranging from blade-only kits to premium hardwood handle block packages, giving makers full control over both construction method and final aesthetic.
The Gentleman Dirk series blends traditional dagger styling with modern maker-friendly engineering, giving builders a precise and rewarding platform to create a truly personalized custom knife. Whether built as a refined display piece or a handcrafted heirloom, this kit delivers both elegance and craftsmanship at every stage of the build.
