Check it out!


Specs:
  • 11" OAL
  • 6" blade
  • 5" handle

Blade:
  • 12C27, hardened to 58 HRc, 0.100" thick, full flat grind
  • 220 grit finish on grind, brushed finish on flats
  • thumbgrooves on top for retention even when wet
  • tip is "semi-flexible" - not a true fillet knife, but does spring back - better for bait-cutting as well as cleaning.
  • Spine is squared but slightly deburred to allow for choked-up grip options.

Handle:
  • 3/8" thick handle slabs of brightly colored G10 (Orange, Red or Blue only)
  • 2 lanyard tubes for safety/dangling
  • Heavily bead-blasted handles for extra grip - even when wet
  • Tapered/curved handle fronts for easy entrance into a kydex sheath (not shown)
  • All corners/edges have been rounded/chamfered for Comfort!
Pics!

This is not yet available for order - probably closer to Early Summer when it will be ready. ;)


Best bet is to join my Mailing List for updates/announcements.

Pricing is set at $190

Thanks!

Dan
 
I will put that to use in a heartbeat in my little fishing town. A simple kydex sheath with a big drain hole in the bottom would be perfect.
 
Yes - the kydex sheath it comes with has a drain hole at the bottom. :thumbup:

I'm ready for this one. I was sorry I didn't get it on the smaller one and regretted it but I will be in on this one. It looks like a great knife.
 
I hope this is not deal spotting, but unless i am mistaken.... the specs on KSF website for the barracuda match the Barracuda XL. so if someone wants one they still have a couple. the blue ones are already gone.
 
Yes - that is correct, arijer. :thumbup:

Dan
 
Yeah I figured it out when i handled the blue ones here at home when they showed up. Now i need to kill some fish this weekend.

Nice Fillet knives Dan, solid workers
 
Dan,

I don't own one of your knives yet but this BarraKuda XL and your Bushmaster really have my attention!

Anyone used the BarraKuda XL on panfish yet?

Thanks,
Matt

Ill let you know this weekend. I am going to try and kill some speckled seatrout:D:thumbup:
 
Very cool! Temps are starting to warm up and I'll be hitting the water soon hopefully. I've been itching for a new fishing knife and this looks to be about perfect.
 
Do these ship from KSF with the kydex sheath? I don't think one is mentioned in the product description...
 
I don't think so. I didn't send a sheath - knives only this first time.

I will gladly make a kydex sheath for any of my knives (except the Survivor..:D) - let me know.
