Deer daggers - more than a tool

Deer daggers are double-edged knives of 40 cm length. They are primarily and traditionally used for big game hunting.

Boar daggers

Boar daggers are similar to deer daggers. Their blades are not quite as long but are in most cases significantly wider. Once the knife penetrates the vital organs of the game air will quickly flow into this area thanks to the particular shape of the blade. An important design feature of all daggers is their guard which prevents slipping of the and thus reduces the risk of injury. In our online shop you will find well-tried and known models of this type of dagger, e.g. the Linder boar dagger.

Boar spears - safety by distance

Also still in use: boar spears. Those who have had the experience of killing a stronger boar by means of a dagger will know that every extra centimeter of distance to the injured boar will enhance your safety. The length of the blade as well as the type of handle are important criteria for successful application. Some boar daggers can be attached to spears, which reprensents a modern way of hunting.
