"Teypeh'eetskohlteek" One of the four knives Bo has been working on since march, this knife is the third of the four knives to be finished so far. This knife is a karambit fighter forged from a leftover piece of recycled 5160 car leaf spring by grassroots Blade-Smith and Knife-Maker Bo of Iron Medicine Blades. 1/1 and Brand new. This knife was forged for a reverse grip carry, to grip properly the index finger must be all the way through the finger loop to the top knuckle. As well this knife was forged to fit only those with medium to small size hands or those with distance across the top of the fingers near the knuckles when making a fist is no wider than 3 1/2". Comes with "pre-Columbian kydex" rawhide dangle sheath with beeswax boiled cowhide beltloop anchor. Knife only releases when while gripping the handle the pinky finger knuckle is slid down and pressed against entrance of sheath in a downward motion.
