Lishen Dakota A2 - Burgundy Canvas Micarta - Thick Green Liners

A2 Fixed Blade with Micarta Handles

The Lishen Dakota is a fixed blade built for everyday carry and field use, sized for detail work without sacrificing durability. It suits knife users who want a compact, tough blade for camp chores, food prep, or general utility tasks.

Blade

The 3.875" blade is made from A2 tool steel at 0.125" thick. A2 is an air-hardened steel known for its toughness and stability, holding a good edge while resisting chipping better than many high-carbide steels. This makes it well suited to hard use where the edge takes repeated impact.

Handle

The handle uses burgundy canvas Micarta with thick green liners. Micarta is a composite made from linen or canvas cloth layered with resin, prized for its durable, grippy texture that only improves with wear. The contrasting green liners add a distinct visual line between the handle scales and the tang. Overall weight comes in at 6.77oz, giving the knife a balanced, substantial feel without being heavy.

Carry

The Dakota ships with a leather sheath, offering traditional belt carry with a snug friction fit that protects the edge and allows quick, quiet draws.

Made in the USA.
