Forged from 80CrV2, this double edge boot knife features a 4 3/8" cutting edge, is 9 1/8" overall, and has a scotchbrite finish.

The sculpted handle is constructed from Ironwood with white G10 liners and stainless steel pins, and features a lanyard hole.

The custom hand formed leather sheath is dyed dark brown and includes contrasting stitching. Attachment is made with an Ulti clip.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to drop in and let everyone know I was the one who commissioned this knife from Travis. I would also like everyone to know he has in no way asked me to write this review, I did not know him before this project, and everything here is true and of my own volition.

Let me start off the bat by saying
THIS KNIFE IS AMAZING. I received it in the mail on Friday, but couldn’t get home to it until Sunday.

Travis was great to work with, from start to finish. He spent multiple nights/email interactions designing the knife for me, as it was mostly conceptual on my part. He took every detail I asked for into account, from shape and size of blade, to handle material and design, to choosing and designing the sheath.

As the project went on he kept me updated, and even included photos of his work. When I received my knife I was blown away by the craftsmanship.

The knife is light in the hand, and came sharp. The dagger point is as one should be, pointy, but wide enough to be durable. The knife fits into the leather sheath as if it were kydex, even emitting an audible pop when inserted. The double stitching was something that hadn’t crossed my mind, but Travis pulled off wonderfully.

Obviously this isn’t a review of the knifes’ overall performance and durability as it’s too soon to tell; But I have no doubt this will be a dagger passed along in my family for many days. If you need a knife designed specifically to your needs, do not hesitate to contact Travis.
