Lishen Dakota A2 - Admiral Blue Jute Micarta

A2 Fixed Blade with Micarta Handles

The Lishen Dakota is a fixed blade built for everyday carry and outdoor use, suited to anyone who wants a durable field knife with a comfortable grip. This version features Admiral Blue jute Micarta scales for a distinctive look.

Blade

The 3.875" blade is made from A2 tool steel, finished at 0.125" thick. A2 is prized for its toughness and ability to hold a stable edge under hard use, resisting chipping better than many high-carbon steels while remaining straightforward to sharpen.

Handle

The handle is built with Micarta, a composite made from linen or canvas layered with resin under pressure. It offers a secure, textured grip that holds up well in wet or demanding conditions. At 6.77oz, the knife feels substantial without being heavy.

Carry

The Dakota comes with a leather sheath for belt carry, offering a traditional look and solid retention. As a fixed blade, there is no locking mechanism - the tang runs the length of the handle for added strength.

Made in the USA.
