Lishen Dakota A2 - Desert Ironwood - Brass Pins #1

A2 Fixed Blade with Desert Ironwood Handles

The Lishen Dakota is a fixed blade built for those who appreciate fine natural materials paired with a proven working steel. Its clean, traditional lines make it equally suited to camp chores or everyday utility use.

Blade

The 3.875" blade is made from A2 tool steel at 0.125" thick. A2 is prized for its toughness and stability, holding a good working edge while resisting chipping better than many high-carbon alternatives, making it a reliable choice for hard use.

Handle

The handle is crafted from Desert Ironwood, a dense natural hardwood valued for its rich grain patterns and durability. Secured with brass pins, the handle adds a warm, organic look while remaining solid in hand. Overall weight comes in at 6.77oz, giving the knife a balanced, substantial feel.

Carry

The Dakota ships with a leather sheath, offering classic protection and belt carry. As a fixed blade, there is no lock mechanism - the tang and handle form a single secure unit ready for immediate use.

Made in the USA.
