Hi folks -

A few months back Stomper had the idea to make a sturdy survival knife with a sheath that was designed to also hold a Vic Farmer. This would be his Survival Kit. I really like Stomper's knives, and also Victorinox knives so it seemed natural for me to order a kit from Stomper.

I received my beautiful new JK Survival knife yesterday and this evening took some pictures to post up here for you all to see -

Here is the knife - it is 9" overall, 4 1/2" long blade, 1 1/2" tall, and 3/16" thick with beautifully contoured maple burl handle scales, a full-ground clip-point blade in 01 steel, three hollow brass rivets and I asked Stomper to leave a little steel on the end to act as a prying tool if need be.

here is the end with the prying tool -

The handles are so nicely contoured that the knife feels like an extension of your arm/hand, and the finger choil is simply perfect -

Here it is in comparison to my JK Kephart - also in maple burl -

As I have come to expect from Stomper, the leather work is also excellent -

I'll have this baby out very soon and post some in use pictures.

I am really happy I ordered this kit when Stomper mentioned it - I think it will be a great all-around camp/survival combo and extremely useful and durable.

Thanks Stomper! Next up will be my upcoming JK Gamblers Bowie in, you guessed it, maple burl!

Very nice. I'm also a huge fan of John's work. The maple is gorgeous. Nice design too.
 
Ridiculously sick blade bro, I absolutely love the handle contours. That maple burl looks amazing!

Props to Stomper for some amazing work.
 
Oh, I like that!!! All these burl and spalted wood handles are so awesome to look at.
 
Nice rig. Knife, sheath and handle look great. I like that stout looking clip point a lot.
 
Awesome kit! Thanks for sharing--now you just need to complete the JK Trinity

Hi Noah -

Yes - but when I do, I'll need a sturdy belt to hold that puppy up!

VERY nice.
It even has a real sheath that actually holds the knife in case you wind up ass over appetite.
Nice piece.
