Don't do it!. . . Don't pick it up!!. . . I'm warning you!!!

Because once you do, you'll finally understand the true meaning of addiction!!!

I have been continuously holding our newest knife model called the Trail Beacon for the past 2 weeks!

I just can't seem to put it down!

So far, everyone who has handled it has fallen in love with this new handle design.

It is crazy comfortable, and the ergonomics are amazing and addictive!

This new model was designed to be a streamlined companion piece for anyone who decides to wander out of their home into the great outdoors or their own backyard, for a weekend full of adventure or yard work!

It doesn't matter whether you are trimming, pruning, building shelters or campfires, or simply having to fight off hordes of tiger mosquitoes, the message is simple: "Don't leave home without your Trail Beacon!"

(And "YES" there is a $100.00 Shop Credit for the first one who catches "it".)

Let's Drink!

Yes! Sweet piece Jerry! Please add some spine shots so we can get additional views of that new handle!

I just have one question..... Why, oh WHY was this not called "Trail BACON"?? That's exactly how my brain wants to read this! Missed opportunity I tell ya!

Joking aside, I'm really looking forward to this model!
 
I dig the handle, looks like a bit of old school SRKW lineage in there 🤙

Jerry Busse Jerry Busse hey, Bossman, I don't suppose you have a Pork Shank laying around for a comparison shot with this model, would ya? Guessing the Trail Beacon blade is a little longer, mebbe a bit thinner too, & a little less pointy? ...but I'd love a visual comparison, if possible.
Also- any chance at a choil option for those of us who like a finger size choil? 😁😉

Can’t fight off Tiger Mosquitoes without Tiger Skin Micarta!!

Unless, we’re going to catch something from the Tiger Mosquitoes…

Zika? West Nile? Yellow Fever??

Agreed. I thought it said Trail Bacon the first time I read it.
 
Oh me like.
Honestly, the “it” to me is all about the Trail Bacon. That’s all I kept reading and seeing.
 
So, it's like a Mountain Duty that's been scaled up slightly in the handle dimension and went on a diet to lose the fat butt at the pinky hook?

Looks killer cool, this should make for a great all around belt knife. I remember asking for something along these lines here (5" Active Duty) after getting the Radioactive Duty and wanting an extra inch to work with ;) ;)

ETA: looks like the blade is more like the Saw of Duty minus the sawback. Anyone else see that?
