The entire knife—from blade through guard to tang—was forged as one continuous piece, resulting in exceptional structural integrity and seamless flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"912\"\u003eThe double-edged blade carries the bold, high-contrast twist pattern throughout, with clean geometry and a purpose-driven profile. The integral construction provides both strength and balance, eliminating transitions or mechanical joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003eA Brown Mallee Burl handle is precisely fit to a tapered tang, showcasing the distal taper while maintaining a locked-in, ergonomic grip. The fit and finish are exacting, with the handle material selected to complement the movement of the Damascus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1335\"\u003eAt 11.4\" overall length, this is a full-size fighter with excellent point control and neutral balance. In hand, it feels exactly as it should—fast, stable, and deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1486\"\u003eThis is not a production piece. It is a forged, one-off example of Chris Moss’s work—built without shortcuts and intended to stand on its own merits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dauntless Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48789012283635,"sku":null,"price":2408.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/9103\/2819\/files\/tapered-tang-damascus-integral-fighter-1718695.jpg?v=1775194147","url":"https:\/\/dauntlessmanufacturing.com\/en-ca\/products\/tapered-tang-damascus-integral-fighter","provider":"Dauntless Manufacturing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
