Dick Patton 5" fixed-blade

If it's got a "name", I don't know it. Bought at the PKA show earlier this year.

Nice simple lines. I like the grinds very much. This is the kind of knife that I really like.

Hi Michael,
Its the non-tactical version of the Field Unit. Pop will be proud to know that you thought enough of your knife to post a pic, Thanks. Theres a review of the tac version in the Sept.'99 Tactical Knives artical on our fighters by Bob Kasper. May it serve you well.

Best Regards
Rob

Do you happen to remember the steel and handle materials? I get asked about it all the time.

Mike

P.S. Hope to see you at the PKA show next year.

Its ATS-34 in 3/16 and the scales are Black Ashe Burl. (Or Box Elder) We WILL be there, Thanks.

 

[Michael_Aos]

Thanks! I assumed it was O-1 & Maple burl.

I like it even more now! I've been kinda babying it because I thought it wasn't stainless.

You should'nt have to baby it too much. Days in a wet leather sheath might get some light surface stain but not to worry.
