****TRADED****Pat Crawford Dragon, the last knife designed by Bob Kapser. Excellent except for the typical Kydex scuffs. Bead blasted S30V blade is 4 1/2 inches long and overall the knife is 9 1/2 inches long. $ 260 shipped US50 including PP "goods" fees.
I'm selling because this is a duplicate.
Buy before Memorial Day And I'll throw in your choice of a NIB Cold Steel Recon Clip Point XL, 5.11 Tarani Karambit or Krudo Nano.
May consider trades of folders or fixed blades, lightly used is OK
In Bob Kasper's own words:
The Dragon knife design is the result of ten years of research on a WW2-era system of close combat called Arwrology (pronounced R-ology) developed by physician and Samurai Jiu-Jitsu Daishi, Dr. Gordon Eric Perrigard. Arwrology is based on extreme in-close fighting methods utilizing automatic conditioned reflexes with a minimum amount of body motion that can be applied to a variety of techniques including a knife.
The Canadian Society of Arwrologists logo designed in 1940 is a black dragon. Like its namesake, the Dragon bites (tip), claws (edge,) and strikes (pommel) its adversary. It uses the same body motion as the techniques used for unarmed combat. Many close combat systems have a knife fighting system and an unarmed combat system. Arwrology has one system because it emphasizes general body movement, and not individual technique for different weapons and attack methods. Following this principle the Dragon becomes a part of the body, as opposed to an extension of the body. This combat system will be explained in my upcoming book, Introduction to Arwrology.
Many thanks to Pat and Wes Crawford. Im a fighting-knife designer and not a maker, so their ability to understand and create is invaluable. From the moment of design presentation to delivery at my front door for evaluation was an amazing three weeks. They are truly masters of their craft.
