Can the HIT Dagger Double As a Boot Knife?

Can the HIT Dagger Double As a Boot Knife?

June 07, 2021

Yes.  Because The HIT Dagger Has All of the Features You Need in a Boot Knife

Boot and neck knives are popular with those wanting an easily concealed weapon ready in a moment. They date pretty far back; from Civil War soldiers, to outdoorsmen, to gangsters. Whether you need something to make you feel safe walking downtown, or a last ditch defense against a bear attack, having the DPx HIT Dagger at the ready is a great idea. Why? Because it has all of the classic attributes sought after in a boot knife, with a few modern touches.

Experienced boot knife users opt for the following features:

  • conceal-ability
  • light weight
  • quality blade steel that holds an edge
  • ergonomic handle, for confident grip
  • stabby blade design

The DPx HIT Dagger checks all of the boxes when it comes to having the features that make a good neck or boot knife.

It is a compact, lightweight push dagger made in Italy by LionSTEEL and comes with a black leather sheath and adjustable chord/lanyard. You can use the lanyard and eyelets to secure the sheath to a boot or inside a concealed area of your choice. The easy to use sheath simply snaps open and closed, while the flat surface sits nicely and does not rub.

Learn about the legendary man, Billy Waugh and see the knife he inspired:  The RYP and Bill Harsey Designed, Billy Waugh DEMO Folder.

RYP first met Billy when he was writing his book Licensed to Kill, Hired Guns in The War on Terror.  Driving his cop Harley across the country during the winter, Billy graciously took out time from his wedding day to meet at the local Waffle House.

The two men - one an author, and one an operator, both veterans of numerous hot spots often at the same time - hit it off immediately. They have been fast friends ever since.
