New Line of HTM Knives

[kevo711]

Does anyone have any pictures or information about the new fixed blades at Blade Show?

These aren't new fixed blades. HTM has had them for several months. They are a Randall King design. They are roughly 9.75 inches overall length with a blade length of 5 inches in s30v or 154cm (unless Darrel got confused at Bladeshow since he said they were 154cm, but online shows s30v as well) and g10 scales. They come with a kydex sheath. Blade thickness is 5/32 and weight is about 5.4 ounces, or 8 ounces in the sheath.

Ah. The one by Master Sergeant Grady Burrell. It has a patented retention system so that the knife won't get knocked out of your hand. It's actually pretty simple in concept, but very effective even when someone strikes the arm to try and knock the knife out. It's basically a length of paracord that hooks on the hooked guard. Grady said he was considering a tanto blade shape as well.

Is the sheath made out of kydex and other specs such as knife steel?

Pretty sure it's kydex. Steel is 154cm if I had to take a guess. Might be s30v. There was no prototype at Blade, but they should be available in the next couple months.

Yes, Hark is correct 154cm and kydex sheaths
