TOPS Knives Shirodagga Fixed Blade Dagger - 5.50" 1095 High Carbon Steel Black Traction Coated Blade - Textured Black G10 Handle (SHRA-01)
Product Description
When you are your own first responder, seconds dictate the outcome. In high-stress defensive situations, a backup weapon must be immediately accessible, absolutely reliable, and highly effective. Too many tactical daggers force you to choose between a bulky, heavy blade that is impossible to conceal and a tiny micro-dagger that lacks stopping power. Veteran designer Laci Szabo drew on his service in two branches of the US military and years as a police officer to build a direct answer to that gap in modern defensive tools with the TOPS Shirodagga (SHRA-01).
Crafted from solid 1095 high-carbon steel, the Shirodagga provides a highly concealable profile without sacrificing the reach and penetration of a full-sized combat blade. The heart of this design is its 5.50-inch wasp-shaped double-edge dagger blade. The unique recurve geometry offers superior feedback during slashing cuts, while the wider tip provides extra reinforcement for deep, devastating thrusts. The blade is fully shielded in TOPS' signature Black Traction Coating, reducing glare and providing vital corrosion defense against environmental elements.
For an unshakeable purchase, the Shirodagga features textured Black G10 handle scales designed with deep indexing grooves that keep the knife firmly anchored in your hand under wet, cold, or high-stress conditions. An integrated wide hand guard protects your hand during heavy impact, preventing your fingers from sliding forward onto the sharp secondary edge. Complete with a custom-molded black Kydex sheath equipped with a rotating spring steel clip, the USA-made TOPS Shirodagga delivers the confidence of a full-sized fighting tool in a package ready for daily belt, chest rig, or boot carry.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
The 1095 high-carbon steel blade on the TOPS Shirodagga requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion. Clean the blade thoroughly after use, dry it completely, and apply a light coat of high-quality oil. Avoid using the fine double-edged tip for heavy prying tasks, and always check your state and local laws regarding the carry of double-edged blades.
