Lishen Dakota A2 - Desert Ironwood - Aluminum Pins #1

A2 Fixed Blade with Desert Ironwood Handles

The Lishen Dakota is a fixed blade built around the classic Dakota profile, suited for collectors and users who want a knife that combines premium materials with field-ready performance.

Blade

The blade measures 3.875" in A2 tool steel at 0.125" thick. A2 is prized for its toughness and ability to hold a working edge through hard use, and it sharpens more easily than many high-alloy steels while still resisting chipping.

Handle

The handle is Desert Ironwood, a dense natural hardwood with rich, swirling grain that makes every handle one of a kind. It's fitted with aluminum pins for a durable, low-maintenance grip. Total weight comes in at 6.77oz, giving the knife a solid, balanced feel in hand.

Carry

The Dakota ships with a leather sheath for belt carry. As a fixed blade, there's no lock to worry about - the tang and handle form one solid piece, ready for immediate use once drawn from the sheath.

Made in the USA.
