This thin, light, and fast knife is angled to be a very aggressive cutter in Filipino grip, and an excellent tip jabber in reverse grip. With light, but secure sheath retention, it is perfect for weak side diagonal cross draw as a surprise "get off me!" tool. It can be drawn strong hand cross draw in edge out forward grip for utility or defensive purposes, or weak hand reverse grip for a lightning quick point forward thrust in one motion with the draw (like the video below the pics) . This knife forms the philosophical basis for a strong argument sure to dissuade any criminal from their attempt to go for a good guy's sidearm. Perfect suited to MBC type defensive techniques. And it zips through cardboard like a... well, sharp knife through cardboard. ;)

Specs
Steel: 3/32" 15N20 carbon steel, heat treated by Andy Pomorski to ~60 RC

Geometry: Full height flat-vex grind to a near zero grind, or less than .005" behind the edge.

Overall Length: ~7"
Cutting Edge Length: 3"

Weight: 2.8 oz., 4 oz. with sheath

Handle: Hidden tang white G10 enveloping the scales, and black and green G10 scales with freehand diamond checkering. Very grippy and comfortable as well. Secured with adhesive only (impact and water resistant Gorilla glue CA). Strength is not an issue, I know as I have made several handles like this before, and tested, carried and used them as well. Just don't wash it in the dishwasher, or leave the knife submerged, or the glue will start to let go (I tested this as well, this type of glue started to dilute and weaken noticeably after 24 hours submerged).

Sheath: Black Boltaron taco sheath included

Boltaron is a thermoplastic like Kydex, similar in price, but with a molding temperature about 30° higher than Kydex. This means that it is functionally identical to Kydex in all climates except that in high temperature climates it is a far superior choice, as it is much less likely to lose its shape if left in a hot car, for example. The only drawback to Boltaron over Kydex is it is available in fewer colors.

Price is expired, payable via itemized PayPal invoice, which I will send to your specified email address. Includes tracked and insured expedited North America shipping. I will ship internationally at buyer's expense and liability. First "I'll take it" with comms by PM or email (ie send me the email address you want the invoice sent to) gets priority. My email address is in my sig if you turn your phone sideways.

Thanks for looking!
