Since the days of the AG Russell Stings and the Gerber mark 1's are long over , the problem has been finding the right boot dagger. These days where boot knives are concerned it's either a choice between the $500.00 custom , the $250.00 Tai Pan or the $15.00 Flea market trash. Here we have a good quality , affordable middle of the road boot knife made by Linton Cutlery that can be gotten for around $50.00. The cord wrapping can be removed from the handle and custom scales can be easily applied.
