The Tactical Tusker. I'm getting more involved with the the military/SF community and wanted (with the help of a couple of buddies) to come up with a knife directed toward this area. I will post here when I get one made up.

Did the thing we talked about in February go through?

Still waiting on that Kev but the inquiries from SF guys is steadily increasing. The Tusker seems to be the model most sought after by them.

This will be the standard design, only it will have a 1" finger cut out instead of the 1 1/2" I normally do. No choil. The standard size will be 10 1/4" overall with a 5 1/4" blade, 3/16" thick by 1 1/2" wide, A2 steel. I plan on having these waterjet cut. The blade will be subdued/darkened with ferric acid. Micarta scales, 3/8" each side, contoured, with a Spec Ops Combat Master sheath.

I'm confused, I thought your tusker was the 8" chopper.:confused: Still want to see the end result though.
 
shotgun, I make the Tusker many different ways. Just look at the Tuskers thread on this forum.

Scott - What is the diff between a cutout and choil?:confused:
 
The finger cut out is on the handle. The choil is a finger cut out on the blade.
Here's an example of a Tusker with a finger choil.
