What to look for
Handle material. G10 and rubber give the best grip; ABS is lighter and cheaper. Blade length. Most here are 2.5 to 3.5 inches; short blades are the point of the design. Sheath. Every one above ships with a sheath; a push dagger without one is not carryable. Finish. Stonewash and black hide wear; rainbow and mirror finishes are for display.
Before you order
Push daggers are prohibited or restricted in more states and cities than ordinary fixed blades, often by name. This page is not legal advice; check your own state's rules and your city's before ordering.
