​

The "KRAKEN" is the new flagship dagger of the HDG "TACTICAL RANGE".

SKULL CRUSHER POMMEL

​

The pommel is based on the classic V42 "Witches Hat" design from WW2.

This unique feature provides the user with multiple options from, Breaking glass, to a  hand to hand melee. 

​

GRIP

​

The grip itself is considerably larger in all respects to that of a classic WW2 grip, This has been done for several reasons.

​

1, To allow for the use of gloves

​

2, To cater for the size of a modern man

​

3, To allow for extra weight to enhance Penetration, thrusting and swinging movements via fugal force.

​​

The grip has been Ceracoted "Flat Earth" and the Blade, Guard and skull crusher are Ceracoated "Black" to blend in with modern uniforms and equipment.

​

​​There are eight rubber O-rings that are heat and chemical resistant placed equally along the length of the grip. 

​

The rubber O-rings not only provide phenomenal grip to the user in all enviroments but they also have a symbolic meaning as the represent the Eight Victoria Crosses awarded to Commandos during WW2.

​

GUARD

​

The guard is based on the classic 1st Pattern from WW2.

The length has been extended to cater for the larger grip and also to allow the user some basic hand protection.
