Shadow Daggers | Lore

Origin Story

Shadow Daggers | Lore are custom painted with intricate knotwork, giving the blades a distinctive golden appearance. Introduced on September 22, 2021, with Operation Riptide, these daggers are part of the broader Lore knife set, which is known for its high-end, status-oriented gold and ornamental patterns. The broad golden blades and their detailed knotwork are the most visible elements in first-person view, emphasizing the symmetrical twin-dagger silhouette. These daggers are often considered a premium-priced option within the Lore family, frequently grouped with other gold-themed loadout pieces.
