Here's a new one: the Hooded Warrior. My original Hooded Warrior design was created by a sniper with the 101st Airborne, United States Army, serving in Iraq, in combat.

What can you say but "Perfection at its best". That is absolutely stunning.
 
When you first look at the knife your just blown away, IMO.

Then you can start looking at the design, I find the handle and blade design very nice and very interesting. I like the front and back SS bolster's, both would keep the finger captured on the handle against slippage, the shape of the bolstered butt with lanyard hole, you don't see that very often :thumbup:
 
Thanks guys, for all the nice comments.

I can not take credit for the design idea. It was originally submitted by a sniper for the 101st Airborne, in combat, in Iraq. He gave a lot of thought and consideration to the design, and consequently, it's a very popular model.

I could not do what I do without the input from my clients. They are the reason I stay in business, and I truly believe that it is a partnership: maker with user. I could not live long enough to know all the uses and requirements of every knife, but with enough clients and their input, and by the grace of God, I can continue to bring their ideas into their hands.

Thanks for allowing me to share.

There's more than a little kukri in that beauty ... but it's clearly meant as a fighter and looks very quick.

As always, a great design and splendid execution.
