This year, Curt had a camera problem and the images here are not quite up to par. Luckily, he decided NOT to image the art dagger(s) and damascus fighter(s) he will have at Blade (no first peeks on those, sorry) - but instead just a new-style fighter and cool chute. I have no idea what, if any, embellishment is planned for these two for Blade.
A hand-filed fitted titanium guard makes this new fighter unique and a first for Curt, rather than having used stainless or nickel silver. Anyone who has handled Curt's fighters knows his hand-filed, fitted, solderless guards are as fine as a Warenski. Details below:
Fighter below: Knife features 6 ½ inch 440-C blade with overall length 11 ½ inches. Presentation Arizona Ironwood handle, outstanding color. Stainless steel pins and thong hole. Full tapered tang construction. Titanium guard that is perfectly hand-filed, fit from the back of the tang. The titanium guard makes the knife very light and fast. The first time this model has been made with a titanium guard.
Chute Knife below: Chute style grind on the blade with a slightly different handle design. Good color on the premium stag scales, 5" blade and 9 ¾” overall length. Full tapered tang construction with thong hole. Features solderless guard, completely hand-filed, fit from the back of the tang, outstanding fit. All fittings are stainless steel.
