Steingass AK Prototype

[TK Steingass]

Les Robertson asked me to work up a George Herron influenced design to carry exclusively on his website. Including Les' input, this is the first prototype I came up with. I named the knife the Steingass AK. The AK stands for Ass Kicker ..... my nickname for Les because of his martial arts background. This knife is a substantial handful - the specs are below. Included is photography using some of the techniques that Jim Cooper has graciously shared with us. All comments welcome.

Best regards,
