I heard that David Beck made a knife model called the "Wolverine" this blade was made for the Scouts Tom Brown turned out according to Beck. I'm looking for any information, or pictures, can anyone help? All I known is someone on another forum wrote this;
"A little blade heavy, but a good mover, excellent edge retention, very nice leather rig and a blued 01 blade. Excellent penetration and cutting/ chopping.
The Wolverine has good handling characteristics, somewhere between a C-series ATAK and ATAK, owing to the balance being a bit rearward in comparison to the ATAK, but cuts very well and was designed with a combative application in mind.
A friend and I used to use it to spear a 4x4 resting on cinderblocks, the idea being that you could judge if the thrust was effective by whether or not the post was stuck to your knife. The Wolverine was one of the best knives I ever used for this drill.
It came with a very nice heavy leather sheath similar to the Buck fixed blades, insofar as it covered the majority of the handle. The Micarta grip is a little slippery but I am sure could be sanded down at some future junction. If I ever figure out digicam usage I will post a pic here for you."
I have tried to email this person, but with no reply, can anyone else help me?
Thanks - Ron
