Lishen Dakota A2 - Desert Ironwood - Brass Pins #2

A2 Fixed Blade with Desert Ironwood Handles

The Lishen Dakota is a fixed blade built for collectors and users who appreciate fine natural materials paired with a proven working steel. This piece features desert ironwood scales finished with brass pins for a clean, durable build.

Blade

The 3.875" blade is made from A2 tool steel at 0.125" thick. A2 is an air-hardening tool steel valued for its toughness and stability during heat treatment, giving it strong resistance to chipping while holding a good working edge - a favorite among makers for hard-use fixed blades.

Handle

Desert ironwood scales are fastened with brass pins. Desert ironwood is a dense, oil-rich hardwood prized for its tight grain and rich color variation, making each handle distinct. At 6.77oz, the knife carries substantial, solid feel without becoming cumbersome.

Carry

The Dakota ships with a leather sheath for belt carry. As a fixed blade, there is no lock to engage - the sheath itself provides secure retention for the full tang blade, making it easy to draw and re-sheath in the field.

Made in the USA.
