With all the talk about ABS forging and the Tactical wave, thought I'd post up Mitch Cohen's Prairie Digital photos of this "Walrus Tactical" that I first showed about a month ago.

I was only kidding a tiny bit when I called this one a Tactical. It's 11 1/4 inches of W-2, tested on the chop and the cut.

The tang is cast into the Walrus with silica filled West epoxy, and the take-down that allows full cleaning and repair is strong enough to fell a small tree.

Although the knife spent a pleasant week bouncing back and forth between snow-bound postal sorting facilities during the Chicago blizzard, it's on it's way back to Florida, and will be in Little Rock at the end of the month for delivery and viewing.

Sheath by Paul Long.

Gold inlay by Joe Mason.

That is not only a dreamy piece, and some wonderful photography, that is my favorite Paul Long sheath of all time! Can't wait to view this in a few weeks. Great work, John. The package rocks. :thumbup:

Awesome knife John. And great photos too. I really like those.
 
Outstanding knife and photos! :thumbup:
 
John, Paul, Mitch; they make it look so.... 'easy'. :rolleyes:

What a pleasure to view. What a pleasure to own!

Good luck with this. :)

That is a wonderful photo of a wonderful knife

The sheath as usual compliments it perfectly
 
I love the blade. The proportions are very nice. More than tacticool enough for me.
 
Tactical, traditional? I don't care. Heck of a nice big knife with just enough flourish to make it special. The hint of recurve and hamon matched with a touch of gold work nicely. The sheath is even better than usual. Screw tactical.
 
Savage Elegance should be the knifes name :-). The blade just screams chop, chop and everything else is all purdy and stuff. Beautiful piece, can't wait to check it out in a couple of weeks.
 
That's maybe the prettiest camp knife that I've seen. Too bad that we're not cutting this year. I'm sure that it would do well.

Looking forward to seeing it first hand.

See you soon.
