JB Stout Custom Stengah Dagger – A2 Tool Steel & Milled G10 Custom Fixed Blade

The JB Stout Custom Stengah Dagger represents a rare intersection of industrial precision and custom knifemaking. Known for his “brutalist” aesthetic, Jason Burley Stout brings his background as a master machinist to every grind. This particular fixed blade is a clean, near-mint example of Stout’s dedication to producing “overbuilt” tools that carry a unique mechanical soul.

The Machinist Heritage of Jason Burley Stout

Based in Martin, Tennessee, Jason (JB) Stout has spent decades perfecting the art of toolmaking. His transition into the knife world in 2013 quickly led to “closed books” and high demand, as collectors recognized the unmatched durability of his designs. Unlike art knives built solely for display, this Tennessee-made dagger is a hand-finished instrument designed for absolute reliability, utilizing a stock-removal method and in-house heat treatment for superior edge retention.

Material Mastery: A2 Steel and Milled G10

The architecture of this custom fixed blade is centered on a heavy-duty full-tang chassis of A2 tool steel. This steel choice provides the impact resistance needed for a tactical dagger, while the double-ground blade—complete with dual fullers—reduces weight without sacrificing lateral strength.

Design Details

• Aesthetic Accents: The dual fullers feature subtle gold-anodized milling, a detail often reserved for Stout’s exclusive show builds.

• Ergonomic Milling: The thick OD green and black G10 handle is deeply contoured, providing a secure, tactile grip that balances the 9 1/8″ overall length.
