Description
Step into the forge of a bygone era with this faithful reproduction of a TENO (Technische Nothilfe) Subordinate Hewer dagger, shaped to match an original from its time. Each part, from the choice of materials to the design, arises from careful examination of surviving examples, aiming to capture the look and feel of these uncommon tools. The blade is forged from high carbon steel, a material prized for its toughness and ability to hold a sharp edge,qualities essential for the practical demands these daggers faced.
The blade is crafted from all-steel, nickel-plated to give it a subtle silvery sheen, paired with a grip fashioned in the traditional bone style,a less common but historically accurate choice that offers a firm, cool hold and a distinctive appearance. The black leather frog is designed to hold the dagger securely at the wearer’s side, while the silver and red embroidered portepee (dagger knot) reflects period details that denoted rank and affiliation. The steel scabbard is finished with enamel, protecting the blade and providing a smooth, polished surface that would have stood out in its day.
