That's actually the new ESEE-Throwing Knife prototype.
That makes sense. With the scope on there you should be able to throw it accurately out to what... at least a thousand yards?
God bless,

PS: They have this one heat treated so that the tip will pierce body armor and ninja suits at that distance right?
If you look closely there is a red dot to allow fast target acquisition at close range, while the scope is useful for long range targets.
It is in fact differentially heat treated--the tip is harder for armor piercing while the rest of the knife is drawn back to a lower RC hardness. The hardness on the back end of the knife is at the proper RC to minimize flex during flight which causes erratic motion in the air which can cause improper penetration angle and inaccuracy. However, it is soft enough to allow for harmonic resonance during flight which actually aids in stabilizing the knife in flight.
Probably illegal in California before it's even available![]()
I'm holding out for the version with the bayonette personally.
The bayonette is important for when that Beta-C mag goes empty. Speaking of emptying Beta mags, have they decided where they are going to put the fire mode selector switch?
God bless,

Last word the fire mode selector was going to be on the pommel of the knife but there are issues with that interfering with the user's grip on the knife.
Just placed a pre-order.
too funny! reminds me of a similar pic, a crowbar with a red dot on top.
