New Knife - Zitoon Knives Commemorative Dagger

It must be admitted that another throwing knife was ordered lately. It was found in the same package as the new NoReload knives from  Zitoon Knives.

It is a brand that has quickly become a favorite of mine for several reasons. The main one is very high quality, especially for the price. They are not exactly inexpensive, but significantly lower priced than many other knives of similar quality. And the design is excellent!

This knife is a bit special and purchased for a specific purpose. The name is Commemorative Dagger or Dague commémorative in French and it has a very distinctive look.

For all of you who know your knife history, the shape of this throwing knife is very familiar. The original is of course the famous British commando knife from WWII designed by Fairbairn and Sykes. In this case, it is a loosely held interpretation as it is not three-dimensional, so to speak. Or rather, it lacks an actual handle and is made in one piece.

The material is as usual with knives from this company, Swedish Hardox. The length of the knife is just over 29 cm, the thickness 6 mm and this gives a total weight of around 220 grams. Not heavy but with this shape the penetration is still excellent.

Well, I actually tested the knife...it's great!

As for the purpose that I mentioned at the beginning, it's of course half-rotation techniques I'm talking about military half-spin and instinctive half-spin, both overhand and underhand, backhand and with the "wrong" hand. Simply, all half-spin throwing. This type of knife is generally excellent for both that and precision throwing. I am sure it will meet my expectations.

In this case, the knife is a tribute to D-Day and the connection is not very far-fetched as Zitoon Knives are found in Normandy. This is also how the inscription on the knife reads "D-Day Normandy".
