Boot Knives
The Boot knife, also known as the 'Gamblers Dagger', is generally a small fixed-blade knife that is typically carried in the boot, on the belt, under one's 'pants-leg' or, in fact, almost anywhere on the body where it is usually concealed and out of the way.
In many cases, the blade is double-edged, with some models having a 'False Edge'. They make the perfect 'silent and back-up partner' for Combat Troops and a ideal second knife for the hunter.

After heat treating and normalising to improve the grain structure, the Sting is then heat treated and quenched to achieve hardness; then tempered to arrive at an optimum hardness with excellent strength.
