Welcome Aboard
A dagger to a Commando is what a katana is to a Samurai.... it's Sacrosanct
It is the personification of his soul and the physical embodiment of his spirit and unrelenting will.

About Us
Hamilton Daggers Glasgow (HDG) was established in 2020 by a former UK Commando and Operative now turned custom knife maker.
The Brand based in Glasgow, Scotland.
"Hamilton Dagger Glasgow"
Was born out of frustration, frustration at a market that lacked diversity, finesse, allure, and above all the quality and craftsmanship required to keep these once majestic daggers elevated to their world-renowned legendary status.
We specialize in premium, bespoke handmade Fairbairn-Sykes (F-S) Commando daggers / Fighting Knives.
We currently produce the largest range of connoisseur F-S fighting knives on the global market today.
We cater to high-end knife collectors and Military personnel worldwide.
"MOTTO"
"Made by those who have been there.....for those who have yet to go"
Products
Hamilton Daggers Glasgow currently produces three ranges daggers. We specialize in meticulously researched, historically faithful, and modern variations of the iconic Fairbairn-Sykes (F-S) Commando dagger design.
Please Note.
Every dagger HDG produced regardless of "Range" or "Type" is operationally tested and combat-ready.
Classic Range:
The "Classic Range" range predominately focuses on historic World War II-era concepts and variants.
This range also pays homage to the WW2 Commandos that used them and the artisans that made them.
These bespoke daggers are designed primarily for collectors, historians, and Military personnel looking for traditional craftsmanship and the iconic look.
Key Models:
Includes iconic historic iterations of the following daggers;
-
The "1st Pattern"

-
The "Beaded & Ribbed"
-
The "Roped & Ribbed"

Tactical Range:
All "Tactical Range" products were conceived out of the need to provide modern day service personnel and Special Forces (SF) operatives worldwide with a secondary weapon system that can be relied upon in close quarters / Melee or as a last resort on operations.
Each "Tactical Range" variant has been vigorously field tested on Land, the Littoral and at Sea by (UK) Special Forces Operators and the (UK) Royal Marines.
All HDG "Tactical Range" products dimensions have been increased proportionally,
to cater for modern day service personnel wearing equipment and gloves.
These dimensional changes have in theory created a "HYBRID" that resides somewhere in-between a Classic WW2 dagger and a modern Bayonet dimensions.

The "Kraken"

The "Hydra"

The "Ceto"
