Note On The Hot Diggity Dog Dagger

Dogs

I have received a few emails in regard to the edge sharpness of the Hot Diggity Dog Dagger. Each knife is sharpened with special attention given to the tip geometry to ensure strength on impact. These knives are a defensive weapon and are not designed for whittling, carving, skinning or chopping. To be clear, these knives are not intended to shave. I am not sure I would want a dagger being held to my throat in an attempt to clean up my face even If I am the one holding it. The nicks would be brutal...LOL

These knives do a great job of sticking, stabbing, poking, plunging, and perforating. They are great little knives for the money and compliment most collections.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

well I was hoping to do whittling, carving, skinning, and chopping with the diggity but I'll settle for a frog poker... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[color:"#3F6826"] but im really hoping to see a Jungle Yard Diggity [/color]

WHAT! You mean there is a DAGGER that doesn't excel at whittling, carving, skinning or chopping! Oh the shame of it all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

YUP, we have all at least tried to do those things with a dagger. BUT come on folks, it is a DOUBLE EDGED STICKING BLADE! It has one purpose, to get you out of trouble so you can get safely away from the danger.

Using it for one of the other stated purposes would be like using a 16 pound sledge hammer to hammer finishing nails! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

LoL well said Randy

I use my Dog Dagger to open letters.

Seriously, I have the coolest letter opener in the Corps.

Good to hear!

Dogs.....

I cant help but think how 12C27 would perform in a more user orientated design. It is a good steal and with the knowledge of heat treat from the dog pound (BUSSE KIN) it should perform exceptionally well.

Dan....cant we get a warncliff Scrapivore or even just a Scrapivore shape in 12C27?

Nicely stated.

There are some that want a knife, regardless of design, to do everything <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan

I was hoping it would at least buy me dinner....

Maybe if there is a promise of an after dinner Um.. KISS. Yeah that's it, a nice "Thank you" after dinner kiss. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

i'm hoping these will make some real tough little throwing knives! can anybody confirm or disconfirm this allegation? they're shorter than most throwing knives but i'm hoping they make up for it in thickness...

Does this mean they are being shipping out soon...

I held Hot Diggity Dogs at Knob Creek and may come to regret not buying a few, but they just aren't a blade that I would carry. They're a very good small hold-out, necker sort of knife and priced to sell, but at least for me, they're less practical than a 3-11. They could be thrown, but may not have the weight for good down-range penetration; I'd be interested on hearing how well they work for you as throwers.

still hoping to see throwing results...

also I can't be the only one who is wants to see one of these made into some kind of a spear???

and Jim I would think you should have at least one or two around as a cool letter opener.

I mostly throw knives at a relatively close distance, using either a no-rotation, half-rotation, or full-rotation throw, at about 1, 2, and 3 meters respectively. After that my sticking percentage goes down drastically. That's why I love my 1st gen. Cold Steel Sure Strike throwing stars--they always stick! Not useful as a knife however. In my opinion most throwing weapons are primarily a distraction; while the zombies are reacting to the three HDDDaggers I just threw at them, I'll be charging in with the 1311 and/or Scrapizashi. Even if they don't stick, they should get the job done. I throw my TOPS Indio pretty well. Its 7 1/4" long and 1/8" thick.

I'll let you guys know how it goes once I get the daggers. 1311 and 411 first though, please. Its a good time to be a Dog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I like the red ones that are in the upcoming Cupidganza. I'll think about those, but doubt I'll be sufficiently motivated to send a 'ganza email. The red-bladed 311s are very nice too.

Yea I already have 3 of the black DDD but I sent out an email today first ganza so if i did it right i ordered a red DDD.

Probably going to pick one up as a improvised spear tip. Hopefully come payday I can reignite my addiction <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This is also one of the reasons I traded for one, should work well for that role. Not to mention throwing, self defense, drilling, puncturing, etc.....

I like mine

I just picked up one and now I find out that it won't chop?

It's for sticking not chopping.

I know.
That was a poor attempt at humor on my part.

I chuckled when I read it.

I wasn't quite sure if he was serious or not so I threw my 2 cents in.

Nothing wrong with that. One can never have too much knowledge.

Well if you're looking for knowledge you came to the right place. The people here make this a well rounded forum.

BTW, I just picked up a sage and I see black on the website. What other colors did it come in?

The original ones from Blade last year were sage, gray and black. I saw some zombie green on the Knob Creek pics and I think there was a red at the last ganza.

I hope it fits my hand well. It's a nice looking little dagger.

You can always wrap it with paracord to change the fit.

True.

They would make a great spearhead!

Boot knife

Also great for dicing celery.

Frogging!

Not for me! With my luck, I'll jab it right into a rock.

Im going to chop with mine.

Toothpicks?

Bananas?

Cooked carrots!

Angel Hair spaghetti, cooked.

I'm gonna put mine on a stick and spear a wild hog!

Just call me Rambo!

I hope it's a long, long stick.

Or a really little pig!

You guys are FUNNY!

I like little piggies, Especially when wrapped in a blanket.

But its sort of a little piggy
