This is a Pack Knife made at the request of a customer from Alaska.
Seriously, he wanted something that would perform basic camp-type chores, with an added feature:
He wanted it to function as a "last resort".
He often finds himself in the company of grizzlies.
He also carries a .454 on his belt.
He said that if it came down to him and the bear going to the end, he knew nothing could stop the bear from doing what he was going to do if the .454 didn't already do its job.
He wanted to at least get one last lick in and wanted to show that he had tried his best.
So this knife is going to Scott Teaschner for a pancake type cross-draw.
Let's all hope he never needs to use it.
It's about 8" of W1.
The random hamon you see is purely natural.
The handle is Cocobolo and the guard is stainless.
