I had a request for a survival knife from a customer so I came up with a new design based on his feature requests.

1/4" Stainless
Cord wrapped
Horizontal carry
light Prying capability

I liked the design a lot so I modified it a little and also made one that is more sporting or camp inspired as well.

I got in touch with my inner geek and was watching Star Wars when I was drawing it up so the model name is the Tuscan Raider which I think fits the knife nicely.

Hope you like..

Spec's: 154cm, cryo quenched, 1/4" thick, just under 6" blade, double cord wrapped, ambi-horizontal oiled American cowhide sheath with multiple lashing points. hand rubbed flats, bead blasted edges & pry surface with a brushed satin blade.

Next up is the camp/hunting version of the Tuscan Raider..

Spec's: 154cm, cryo quenched, 1/4" thick, just under 6" blade, bead blasted Black Micarta over G-11 scales, American cowhide swinger sheath, oiled. hand rubbed flats and sides, polished blade.

Last is another KÜK I just finished up. For anyone who hasn't seen it before KÜK stands for "Churched-up Utility Knife". This design was inspired by your basic retractable utility knife and is designed for hard use. It's been my most popular design for people who work with their hands for a living.

Spec's: 1/4" thick 1084 high carbon, blasted flats, polished blade, blasted black Micarta over gold G-10 scales with blasted bronze pins, American cowhide sheath with integrated D ring for lashing to a tool bag or belt.

Thanks for looking!
 
Great looking tools. Leatherwork is top notch and everything is overbuilt. Thank you for posting.
 
I like the knives and handle layering, and the sheaths are ARTWORK! Very nice work!
