Hello Everyone,

This one was recently completed, it is the prototype L.I.T. Knife (Lightweight Incendiary, Tinder).

This knife features a 3.5" long blade of 1/8" O1 tool steel, @ 59 HRC and flat ground to a good working edge. OAL length is approximately 8.25".

This one is unique in that it has a green canvas micarta handle with red liners/spacers, while still being a Hollow Handle knife. The micarta handle has an ovoid shape, so it will not roll in the hand and is very comfortable. Brass ferrule, and aluminum buttcap. The 5/16" thick ferro rod is permanently fixed in the buttcap, thus the "Incendiary" part of the name. There is just enough space left over in the handle for some tinder, rounding out the package.

Continuing with the puukko theme is a hand-sewn back stitched leather sheath, complete with wooden liner. It is setup for neck carry, but there is also a hole punched so you can easily add a dangler.

Weight of knife w/buttcap and firesteel is 4.9 oz, and knife and sheath together are 6.25 oz
