long dagger Pha

Post image

hello I don't know if this belongs here so apologies if it doesn't but I recently received the purple heart armory long dagger and I'm wondering how you take off the Nagle on the dagger as I want to move it to the other side so my thumb can lay more flat on the side without the knot

Looks like it would be easier to re-do the handle wrap

the problem with that is that the wrapping is riveted into the handle so I can't undo it without tools and I know they sell replacement blunts so I think it can be taken off I'm just having trouble taking it off

Ok, well those blunts don’t usually have any threading or anything inside, so it’s either friction fit or glued. Pull hard on the blunt, maybe twist it a bit to see if it’ll come off. If not you’ll probably need pliers and/or something to pry with, which unfortunately will probably ding up the blunt. For example, you might need to squeeze the sides of the blunt to crack off the glue.

If you do need to use pliers, wrap the blunt in a rag or masking tap first to prevent the pliers from cutting it up.
