The
design for this one came from the very first
knife I ground out of steel. I initially
intended it as a replacement for the typically
undersized karda that come with a khukuri
rig. It sat unfinished on a shelf for two
years until, with some prompting from knifemaker
buddy Tom Krein, I picked it back up, made
a handful and debuted the blade at the 2005
Blade Show. The design is simple and can
be carried as a neck knife or on the belt
with a TekLok (set up for both horizontal
and vertical carry).
Specs:
Overall
Length = 7.5"
Blade
= 3" (sharpened) of 5/32" O-1
tool steel, full convex grind, distal
taper, handrubbed finish
Handle
= 4.5", cordwrap - can be removed
and rewrapped
Sheath
= Kydex, set up for Regular TekLok
Decided
to try my hand at a hollow ground variation
with a Lacewood handle.
