Dawson Knives: Custom TAC 2 Dagger, Obsidian Cerakote
I find the aesthetics of this knife stunning, and can see hanging it on the wall as art. Its construction is far beyond what's needed for a display piece, including an integral design, full double hilt, and extended tang. The taco-style sheath makes for a slim carrying profile.
Blade steel: 80CrV2 Carbon Steel, 0.1875 inches thick
Overall length: 9.625 inches
Blade length: 5.375 inches
Handle Material: Rayskin with Cord Wrap
Sheath material: Typhon Kryptek Kydex
$ 450
Dawson Knives: Custom Wraith, Obsidian Blade
The tanto-like shape of this blade (including the secondary point, or yokote) suggests chopping motions will be vastly more effective than is the case with more conventional designs. I suspect the need to use much wider blade stock accounts for the rarity of such designs.
The sheath incorporates the slickest retention system I've ever seen. A small bump in one wall of the sheath (integral with the rest of the material) clicks into a corresponding divot machined into one of the handle bolts, locking the blade into the sheath. A quick and easy (but deliberate) action of the fingers disengages the bump/divot connection, allowing the blade to be drawn with nearly no resistance.
Blade steel: 80CrV2 Carbon Steel, 0.25 inches thick
Overall length: 10 inches
Blade length: 5.25 inches
Handle Material: Micarta
Sheath material: Typhon Kryptec Kydex
$ 450
Ed Martin Knives: MK2 Flechette
The graceful silhouette, the exacting craftsmanship, and the stunning grind lines make this knife a work of art. The contoured double hilt adds practicality to this beauty; it begs to be carried.
Blade steel: CPM S35VN, 0.180 inches thick
Overall length: 9.5 inches
Blade length: 5 inches, hollow grind
Handle material: Micarta
Sheath material: leather
$ 450
Ed Martin Knives: MK14 MagLite
The materials and construction of this knife inspire confidence that if this were the only tool I had in an emergency situation, it would not let me down. The design shows careful consideration for making this tool comfortable to use for extended periods of time.
Blade steel: CPM S35VN, 0.220 inches thick
Overall length: 10.25 inches
Blade length: 5.625 inches, top edge sharp
Handle material: Micarta
Sheath material: leather
$ 450
Ed Martin Knives: T2 Ehud, subdued finish
I find the ergonomics on this knife exceptional. The sculpted handle scales, in concert with the contoured double hilt, make for a rock-solid, comfortable grip.
Blade steel: CPM S35VN, 0.220 inches thick
Overall Length: 10.75 inches
Blade length: 6 inches
Handle material: Micarta
Sheath material: leather
$ 500
