Thanks to Paul Kessler, fellow collector and forumite, who sold this fine custom combat knife to me at BLADE. He had ordered it from the maker, Jim Hammond, for a young soldier who unfortunately had to deploy before the knife was ready.

This one is the slightly scaled down version of Hammond's famous SEALTAC combat knife. It is called the Cobra Gold and measures 11 1/2 inches OAL. The steel is 440C and handle is linen micarta. Sheath is a custom fitted kydex and ballistic nylon affair. Hammond's knives are in demand and have earned a stellar reputation for toughness and functionality among America's military elite.

In My Humble Opinion You Can't Go Wrong With a Cobra Gold Or A Hammond SealTac.I've Owned Several CG's & a Couple Of Sealtacs & Found Both Models Are Made To Be Used & You Can Count On Them.I Preferred The Leather Sheaths That Used To Come With Them That Jim Personally Made-But Sigman's Kydex Drop Sheaths Are Also Exceptional - Well Thought Out & The Standard Sheaths Now When Ordering A SealTac Or Cobra Gold.You Snagged an Excellent Knife HTMD Congrats & May It Serve You Well.

Buddy,

That's a nice looking knife. It looks like it could get the job done right.

Jim makes these with an unforgiving attention to detail and quality. His designs are well-thought out and appropriate.

A VERY suitable acquisition. Kind of counter balances the ABS forged & older Scagel pieces in your possession. Glad to see this. :thumbup:
