About Dagueart

Dagueart is a folding-knife brand based in the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

Every model is designed and developed with the ambition of offering a strong, instantly recognisable identity — far from generic shapes and conventional designs.

Dagueart's approach relies on a balance between aesthetics, function, and technical precision.

Each knife is conceived as a functional, modern and durable object.

Design should not merely produce an original silhouette. It must also serve ergonomics, grip, mechanism operation, and the overall coherence of the product.

Shapes, volumes and components are developed to create a balanced whole in which each element has a precise function.

Dagueart's aesthetic universe draws inspiration from technical, mechanical and futuristic worlds.

Lines are typically sharp, angular and structured. Mechanisms, inserts and functional details contribute directly to each model's visual identity.

This approach yields knives with a strong character while preserving a sober, coherent and disciplined design.

The design, technical development and modelling of Dagueart knives are carried out in Switzerland.

Every project starts with an idea, a mechanical architecture, or a silhouette, before gradually being turned into a complete digital model.

Dimensions, assemblies, contact areas, mechanisms and manufacturing constraints are all studied before the first prototypes are produced.

The creation of a Dagueart knife goes through several development phases.

The first iterations define the overall proportions, ergonomics and visual identity. The geometry is then refined to integrate the mechanical components and prepare for manufacturing.

Prototypes are built to verify in particular:

• the operation of the mechanism;
• the quality of opening and closing;
• ergonomics;
• tolerances and adjustments;
• the integration of the various components;
• the real appearance of materials and finishes.

Each round of feedback allows us to correct and refine the model before it goes into production.

Dagueart favours materials known for their technical properties, durability and visual quality.

Depending on the model, this may include premium blade steels, stainless steels, aluminium alloys, forged carbon, technical surface treatments, or glowing inserts.

The choice of a material never relies on appearance alone. It must suit the function of the part, its level of stress, and the demands of the mechanism.

Each knife has its own architecture and mechanical identity.

Some models favour proven, simple systems, while others integrate more specific mechanisms developed around a precise use.

The mechanism is an integral part of the design. Its operation, integration and accessibility are considered from the earliest stages of design.

Dagueart knives are designed and developed in Switzerland, then manufactured by specialised partners with the necessary equipment and know-how.

These partners are selected on the basis of their capabilities in machining, material treatment, assembly and quality control.

Manufacturing follows the plans, technical specifications and requirements defined by Dagueart.

Dagueart lets every customer personalise their knife before ordering.

Depending on the model, it is possible to add:

• text;
• a symbol;
• an image;
• a personal artwork.

Customisation can be positioned on various compatible areas of the blade or the handle.

All customisations are produced using laser engraving.

This technology delivers a precise, clean and durable mark while faithfully preserving the details of the selected artwork.

Each customisation is verified before being produced to check its placement, proportions and compatibility with the chosen surface.

The Dagueart 3D configurator lets you personalise the knife directly online.

Users can pick a model, choose an engraving zone, add text, a symbol or an image, then adjust its size and position.

The creation is previewed directly on the knife in three dimensions before the order is confirmed.

This approach turns every Dagueart model into a more personal piece while preserving the identity and coherence of the original design.
