The Lapel Dagger is an emblematic weapon of the S.O.E.
The S.O.E. “Special Operations Executive”, was a secret British WW2 organization officially formed on July 22nd 1940 under Minister of Economic Warfare Hugh Dalton, from the amalgamation of three existing secret organizations. The purpose of the S.O.E. was to conduct espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance in occupied Europe (and later in Southeast Asia) against Axis powers, and to aid local resistance movements.
Easily concealable, the Lapel Dagger was part of the clandestine weapons carried by S.O.E. agents behind enemy lines. As per the original models, our Lapel Dagger comes with a simple sheath to be sown directly on clothes (behind the lapel of a coat or inside a pocket…) or to be carried around the neck.
This easily concealable weapon was often used as a last ditch effort to slash the hand or the face of an enemy soldier to facilitate escape.

Historians believe that “Knuckles” or “Dusters” originated from ancient Greece and Rome, where they were first used by Gladiators. These often crude but devastating weapons, have been carried by soldiers during the American civil war, by Parisian gangs “Les Apaches” in the late 1800’s and were widely carried and used by soldiers of both world wars.
Our Dusters are a modern version of a historic model manufactured and carried by the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the First World War.
It is to be noted that our Dusters do not have a palm swell like other designs. This particularity allowed soldiers to wear the knuckles and still perform tasks such as manipulating and reloading firearms for example.
Also, we chose to CNC our Dusters from a solid block of Aluminum, making them compact and lightweight, while still being brutally devastating.
