Blackside Customs + Starlingear Phase 7 Dagger - Damascus/Copper Vintage
Some knives just get all the cool stuff! Not only is the Blackside Customs Phase 7 Dagger living its best life with a Chad Nichols Damascus blade and custom copper handles, but those handles have been fully customized and decked out in awesome by Starlingear! That's right, Blackside sent a set of handles to Ryk Maverick, and Ryk did his thing. Each set features custom Starlingear elements, as well as vintage brass medals and custom BSC logo badges. Each one is then hand finished with Starlingear's signature patina and polish, making for a truly unique and stunning Phase 7!
Being veterans of making killer gear to elevate your EDC game, Blackside Customs has taken the next step of kitting you out: blades! The very first entry into their discreet carry Silent Partner Series knives is the Phase 7 double edged dagger. Drawing from classic discreet concealed blade designs and purposes, the Phase 7 is sleek, minimal and fast on the draw. Keeping with Blackside Custom's unique 'Retro-meets-Modern'' look, the Phase 7 fits in equally well in your modern EDC as it would in a 1950's spy thriller. The classic double edged dagger profile will make short work of anything you throw at it, and features a fuller groove. The slim symmetrical handle profile features subtle yet smart profiling and jimping to stay locked in your hand but still be easy to covertly carry. The handle scales are held on with custom hardware. Lanyard hole at the butt end. The Phase 7 really nails the sweet spot of being small enough to carry all day with ease while staying large enough to easily handle and take on real jobs. On top of that, this one comes with a custom leather sheath from Starlingear that features intricate embossed designs using custom made embossing dyes! Hand dyed, weathered and finished details really brings out a vintage weathered character! The whole piece has been wax-dipped both to hold the shape of the sheath, and to protect it form the environment. Finished with a multi color finish with weathered patina vibe.

Notes on Copper:
This is a disclaimer for all you folks who slept through high school chemistry class or somehow not aware of the nature of copper. All metals will change colors and looks over time depending on use, environment etc. This is especially true with copper. This means it may get a darker, may change colors with patina, or it may get shiny and polished where it is rubbed by another material (like say your pocket). Take those pennies out of your pocket and see how different they all look. Well there ya go: that’s copper! If you want to keep your copper all shiny and new you will have to keep cleaning it with any of the homegrown solutions you can find with an internet search. OR, you can accept that what makes copper a cool material is that your piece will change over time and tell its own stories and truly become one of a kind.
