Lishen Dakota A2 - Blue Canvas Micarta - Thick Natural Liners - Mosaic Pins

A2 Fixed Blade with Micarta Handles

The Lishen Dakota is a fixed blade built for collectors and users who appreciate clean lines and quality materials in a mid-size utility knife. This variant features blue canvas Micarta scales with thick natural liners and mosaic pins for added detail.

Blade

The 3.875" blade is made from A2 tool steel at 0.125" thick. A2 is an air-hardened tool steel known for its toughness and stability, holding a durable edge while resisting chipping better than many high-carbon alternatives. This makes it a strong choice for a fixed blade meant for regular field use.

Handle

The handle is built from blue canvas Micarta, a material made by resin-impregnating layers of linen or canvas cloth under pressure. It offers a secure, textured grip that holds up well in wet conditions. Thick natural liners sit beneath the scales, and mosaic pins add a decorative touch to the fastening hardware. Overall weight comes in at 6.77oz.

Carry

The Dakota ships with a leather sheath, offering traditional belt carry with a snug friction fit for the blade. As a fixed blade, there is no lock mechanism - the tang runs solid through the handle for strength.

Made in the USA.
