I meant to get this posted yesterday but have been pretty much back to back all nighters getting my next HT batch ready, so took a moment to snap some quick shots before dinner, while the light was right.
This is the second new tactical pattern I worked up, somewhat in the same "family" as the recurve I posted last week.
I was never much of an American Tanto fan, but the hybrid ground flavor has really begun to grow on me. I love the combination of hollow ground blade and flat ground tip. Once you get around to using one, it is a very versatile pattern.
This one pretty much speaks for itself other than that. The handle is rounded at the flats for comfort; the ballooned square handle shape is more comfortable than it looks. Tang is full thickness, skeletonized for improved balance and reduced weight. This one comes in at just over 1/2 lb. It definitely feels robust in hand, but shouldn't be a pain to carry.
CTS-XHP @61, .156" thick
Hybrid grind, hollow w/flat ground tip
Black G10 and 416ss hardware
4.5" edge length, 10.5" OAL, 8.3oz
$250 delivered. I am moving away from offering choice of sheath in an attempt to speed up my delivery of knives to BF buyers, but will do buyers choice on this one since not all tac buyers prefer kydex.
