Plywood dagger for crafts – choose from 5 to 50 cm

The pirate party is coming up. The school play still needs props. Or the craft afternoon with the children needs a new idea. And you're missing just the right motif. This wooden dagger in untreated plywood is made for your next creative project. It's a clear dagger silhouette that you can paint, decorate and design however you like. A plain wooden cutout becomes a costume accessory, table decoration or a small gift.

What changes for you

• You can start straight away, with no sanding or preparation. The wooden dagger is laser-cut and has smooth edges.
• Your motif always fits your project. You choose any length from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps. That covers everything from small table scatter to large props.
• You design it exactly as you imagine. The untreated wood takes paint, varnish, oil and glue well. That's ideal if you want to paint or decorate the dagger.
• Larger projects are easy to plan too. The wooden dagger comes singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. That's handy for a children's party or a drama group.
• You get clean, careful finishing from our own production. Every cutout is made by Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden dagger makes a difference

Shop-bought decorations often look generic. A wooden dagger you've designed yourself tells your story. Use it as table scatter on a medieval table, as a hanging decoration or as part of a knight costume. The motif looks handmade and personal, because you made it yourself. The shape is slim and clear, so it stays easy to recognise even when painted or decorated.

Material & finish

The dagger is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which outlines the motif finely. The edges are smooth, so you can pick it up and paint it straight away. The wood is untreated – neither varnished nor stained – so it's ready for your design. Wood is a natural material and never completely uniform. Shade, grain and small knots can vary. This makes every piece one of a kind, not faulty.

Good to know about the dagger

For centuries, the dagger was part of the kit of knights and sailors. No wonder it's still a firm part of medieval, knight and pirate themes today. That's exactly why the silhouette suits themed parties, theatre projects and themed table decorations so well.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the untreated wooden dagger dry and avoid constant moisture. That way the natural material keeps its shape for a long time. If you want to use it outdoors or for longer, you can paint or oil it after decorating.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the wooden dagger? Yes. The wood is untreated and takes acrylic and craft paints, varnishes and oils well. You can also stick things on it easily.

Do I need to sand the edges? No. The dagger is laser-cut and has smooth edges. The typical brown laser edge comes from the cutting process and subtly frames the motif.

Why don't all the daggers look exactly the same? Wood is a natural material. Shade and grain vary, and small knots are normal. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Is the dagger available in larger quantities? Yes. As well as single pieces, you can order sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. They're useful for workshops, school projects or events, for example.

Think of the moment the children proudly hold up the daggers they painted themselves. Or the moment your medieval table sets exactly the mood you had in mind. That's what this wooden cutout is for. Just choose your length and quantity – and get started.
