5.5-Inch Push Dagger with Nylon Sheath

The ElitEdge push dagger pairs a 3-inch double-edge spear point stainless steel blade — black finish, blood groove running the length — with a full-tang black rubber T-handle grip. The T-handle shape concentrates force straight forward, giving it penetrating capability a conventional-grip knife can't match at this size. Overall length is 5.5 inches. Includes a nylon sheath with belt loop and straps for belt or body carry.

ElitEdge Push Dagger Features and Specs

• 3-inch double-edge spear point blade: Stainless steel with a black finish — sharp on both sides for cutting on the push and the pull
• Blood groove: Fuller runs the length of the blade
• Full-tang black rubber handle: T-handle grip, held in the fist with the blade extending forward between fingers
• Overall length: 5.5 inches
• Full-tang design: Steel runs the full length of the handle — no weak point at the blade-handle junction
• Nylon sheath included: Belt loop and straps for versatile carry positioning

Compact enough for backup carry but built rugged — the full-tang stainless construction handles use that would stress a larger folding knife. The nylon sheath's belt loop and strap system allows horizontal, vertical, or cross-body mounting depending on carry preference.

How does the T-handle grip work in practice?

You hold the crossbar in a closed fist with the blade sitting between your index and middle fingers, extending forward. A forward strike drives straight from the shoulder through the blade tip — there's no wrist rotation or slashing arc to time correctly under stress, which is the main reason this grip style is chosen over a standard knife for close-quarters defense. The full-tang stainless core means that force transfers straight through the blade rather than flexing at a weaker tang joint.

Push dagger legality — what to check before buying

Push dagger laws vary by state, and several states classify them separately from standard fixed-blade knives — with restrictions or outright bans in some jurisdictions, California among them. Rules can also differ by blade length or overall length, so a specific product's dimensions matter, not just the category. Check your state and local ordinances before purchasing or carrying, and when uncertain, confirm with local law enforcement or an attorney rather than assuming a general "knife law" covers it.

ElitEdge vs. the MTech push dagger — which should you choose?

Both use the same double-edge spear point blade shape with a blood groove — the core design is nearly identical between them. Where they differ: this ElitEdge model runs a 3-inch blade at 5.5 inches overall, while the MTech push dagger runs a 3.75-inch blade at 5.47 inches overall — a longer blade in a slightly more compact overall package. Carry setup differs too: this ElitEdge sheath uses a belt loop and straps for horizontal, vertical, or cross-body mounting, while the MTech version ships with a stainless steel clip built for boot or neck carry. If you want the longer blade and clip-style carry, go MTech. If you want the belt-loop/strap carry system, this ElitEdge model is it.
