A little history
Historically, the first model of such a knife was the Indian combat dagger-katar (कटार) known since the 16th century. It was also designed for a forward penetrating strike but was grasped by the handle with both hands. The katar was the weapon of the Indian elite. The main advantage of such a dagger was the handle, which did not require a strong grip and held well even in a wet hand.
Later, the Push Daggers we know today appeared in the 19th century in the southern United States. They became self-defense knives in their own right and were used for concealed carry. The dagger became particularly popular among residents of the Southwestern United States, notably New Orleans, Louisiana. There it was known as the "drill knife". The knife had a short two-inch (50 mm) blade. It was worn in a boot, in the sleeve of a coat, or attached to the button of a vest by a belt attached to a leather sheath. This knife was used by the city's criminal structures so actively that in 1879 the city authorities adopted a decree prohibiting anyone in the city from selling, offering or displaying such weapons to the public. sale.
In our time, the resurgence in popularity of push daggers began in the late 1980s, when the largest American knife companies began producing them. In particular, the famous company Cold Steel, which produces several models of these knives.
