My military project. FKU(K)

I've been working on finishing up so I can get to 10 to send you at once, but I'll see what today leaves me with and just run with that for a first box.

Awesome!

I really like the looks of this knife. Great work and intention

Six are in the mail for bearish kydex. Should have photos in a few days!

6 more are in process.

I'll ask the dumb question... I understand these are meant more for field use by troops but what keeps this from being a very ideal big woods bumming/"camp knife" knife? Looks like it has the chops to me to be very useful all around for woodcrafting bigger pieces, game cleaning & general "I think I need to cut that, plus plenty of length for batonning firewood down to kindling.

I really like it Christof! I think that is a great size and a very useful design.

Nothin at all. It is a full utlity knife. Only real specific thing is that I am pushing these out for a special reason. There will be some up for sale as part of the fundraising in a few weeks.

And I will probably add it to my lineup

first 6 are back from the red bear with kydex.

They will have tek loks for shipping, but here's the photos. (the website will be getting all the other information added in the next few days and I'll post a link)

First batch is up

Not sure how exactly I'm doing details. Except that I know who I'm shipping through and how low the pricing can go. Some senior NCO will get stuck with the end user details!

DAMN thoses look awesome. I hope a outside the wire soldier gets them

 

[Brian Sargent]

Great blades ....... wish I had some extra cash at the moment.

How's this project coming along? Have you had any donations?

 

[koyote]

I got a few this weekend. I have to finish catching up with someone helping to get them to destinations. Once I have that locked down, I'll start mailing them off and push the donations page on my website in a much more public sort of way.

 

[koyote]

well, off in the mail they go, and i am working on more. at this point i think i am going to just keep it going year round, and offer models up for sale with some funding the deployment knives.

Any feedback?

 

[grunt soldier]

christof are the ones on that link for sale? or how does this work? I know I would have loved a care package containing something like this. I wouldn't mind contributing through the purchase of a blade or something.

 

[grunt soldier]

???????????????? koyote are you here sir. I want to help the cause

 

[Rotte]

I know a guy who knows a guy....

Anyway, the knives made it to Afghanistan and were gratefully received. Sounds like they are in good hands and will get to deserving Joes.
