Mini Rung Sat

I've liked these ever since I saw them on Blade Auction years ago. My first Dalton. Fires like a rocket.

Neat! Looks like a bit of machining on those handles.

i'd say the machning on that was the cutter at a high speed, and low rpm's

Never heard one bad thing about Dalton's and yet I don't have one in my collection.
The only complaints I have heard was some people didn't like the strange graphics he put on some of his models. I have to agree they looked a little out-dated.

I really dig this little guy Jarvis,it almost looks "Cali" legal.

There were a few models I loved,one was that big nasty Assassin and the other (I think) was called "Tank"
Not sure if it made regular production but I love the modern look with kind of a "techno" thing going on yet built tough.

Nice mini rung sat Jarvis. I have a Dalton scale release that also fires with a nice snap. Seems like they were all made with strong springs.

It's my understanding that a couple years back Dalton made some knives that were engraved with Nazi/White Power propaganda. When those knives surfaced many avid Dalton collectors started selling off their collections because of the apparent disgust of Dalton's actions. Needless to say there was a huge drop in the value of the Dalton line in general. I've still got my one Dalton, but I can't say I blame the folks that decided to stop collecting them. It's a shame really because he made some really cool knives.

I have nothing against him personally as i never heard of that history. I just don't own daltons because i think most daltons i see seem gimmicky....

I usually prefer a larger knife but this one Jarvis posted would make a great EDC (always heard Daltons open super fast)

If you're curious I found a few links with a quick google search. The first link has some actual pics of the knives with Nazi symbolism on them...

edit: sorry for cluttering up your thread Jarvis! Not trying to knock people that own Daltons...hell, I own one. I think your new Dalton is bad-ass.

I agree! I've heard the same thing about Daltons, and can confirm that the one I have certainly does.

The release mechanism is identical on both sides, making it truly ambidextrous. I've been told that a few ProTech models originally started out as Daltons.

I believe that. Just take a look at the Dalton Mini Cupid and the Protech Tantilla. They are very similar, and I'm pretty sure that Dalton came out with the Cupid line long before Protech even existed. I think a lot of the popular knife designs started with Dalton as a matter of fact. The Dalton Ranger looks just like the first Microtech Halo design. I think there was some controversy as to whether Dalton or Microtech came up with the design first. Clearly Microtech did a better job refining and marketing it, but who knows.
