Hello BF,

This knife came out of my Kinzua model, I ground off the thumb ramp on a Kinzua about 8 months ago, and liked it! I decided to have the blank jet out with a cavity in the center so it could be easily cord wrapped.

The RSK acronym stands for "reserve survival knife", kind of the same concept as the PSK... I liked the way RSK sounded and wanted to differentiate from the PSK a bit anyway.

I am also having handle scales milled out that will fit into the cavity and lock in place, they will be milled on both sides, to fill the cavity on one side and contoured on the other. They should be ready in about 4 to 6 weeks and will be interchangeable. Leather sheaths will be available in the next 2 weeks, to fit the blank when it has scales mounted to it.

The knife is ground be hand, by me, and finished to medium scotch-brite. The primary bevel is ground full flat with a convexed secondary bevel.

OAL is 7 5/8 inches and cutting edge is 3 3/8. Stock is 1/8 inches.

These A2 knives (man I am loving A2) are heat treated, cryogenically treated, triple tempered, and tested to guaranteed Rc of 59-61 by Peters of Meadville, PA.

The knife weighs 2.5 ounces wrapped with lanyard, and 3.5 with it's sheath. There is approximately 7 feet of 550 para-cord used in wrapping each knife.

I have twelve total available in these configurations:

0 orange cord/orange kydex (SOLD)
0 OD green cord/black kydex (SOLD)
0 black cord/black kydex (SOLD)
0 blac cord/orange kydex (SOLD)
0 coyote camo/tan kydex (SOLD)
0 coyote camo/black kydex (SOLD)
1 pink camo/black kydex
0 od green/tan kydex (SOLD)

Hey Nick, that is fine with me... shoot me an email at landijohn@gmail.com to figure out the details, sure, I do want to make up a stainless batch, but, probably not for a few months.

How much will the handles be?

Hello Zippin, I would like to keep them in the $35 to $45 range. But, I don't have all of the pricing data in yet.

The leather sheaths should be priced around $20.

Great design and nicely done!

The A2 should go to heat treat right after Blade!
 
Great looking design. I like the Kinzua a lot, but these look even better to me. Will you have any of these at Blade?
