Lishen Dakota AEB-L - Desert Ironwood

AEB-L Fixed Blade with Desert Ironwood Handles

The Lishen Dakota is a compact fixed blade designed for outdoor tasks and bushcraft. With its simple, functional design and high-quality materials, it's built to handle everything from camp chores to detailed wood carving. The Desert Ironwood handle provides both durability and a distinctive aesthetic.

Blade

The 3.875" blade is made from AEB-L stainless steel, a Swedish carbon steel known for its fine grain structure and excellent edge retention. AEB-L is a favorite among custom knife makers for its ability to take and hold a polished edge, making it well-suited for detailed tasks like wood carving. The blade's simple, nearly straight edge profile excels at slicing and detail work, with good piercing ability for its size.

Handle

The Desert Ironwood handle is both attractive and functional. Ironwood is a dense, stable material that resists moisture and wear, making it ideal for outdoor use. The handle's length of 4.875" provides a comfortable grip for extended use. At 6.5 ounces, the knife is lightweight enough for everyday carry but substantial enough for chopping and other heavy tasks.

Sheath

The included leather sheath offers secure carry and protection. Leather is a traditional choice that ages well and can be easily maintained with proper care.

Made in the USA.
