Knowing you absolutely don’t need something does not make it any easier to rationalize not buying it. The fifteenth pair of sneakers, a nuke proof phone case and these Escort Carbon Fiber Daggers all fit into that category. No man has a serious need for a carbon fiber dagger (unless you’re Jack Bauer, Sam Fisher or James Bond), but that doesn’t mean we don’t want all three of these any less. Made of, you guessed it, 100% carbon fiber, each stabbing weapon is incredibly light (the lightest weighs under an ounce and the heaviest is just over an ounce) and durable. They’re also 100% “Made in the good ol’ US of A” and are a much better use of the magical fiber than replacing the hood on a Civic. Plus, they look cool… even if you don’t ever actually have to stab someone with them.
