Is the cold steel counter tac considered a dagger?
I live in Texas and know daggers are illegal to carry but if its only a boot knife then it would be legal. It is under the legal length so that is not a problem
Well.... if your "boot knife" is in fact a dagger.... calling it just a "boot knife" is not going to keep you out of trouble.
A dagger is (just by straight dictionary definition): a double edged blade primarily for stabbing.
The counter tac is a double edged blade, primarily for stabbing.... so yes... it fits the definition of a dagger.
As a dagger it would be illegal to possess in Texas.
Texas Statutes:

And the advertising from Cold Steel.... they even advertise it's "needle sharp" point and "effortless penetration." Even the company doesn't try to hide the fact that this is a "dagger" by any accurate definition of that word.
