WSK = Wilderness Survival Kukri

[Daniel Koster]

This is my spin-off of the Dave Beck WSK made popular by the movie The Hunted.

I really liked the idea of the knife, and hoped to add a few of my own humble "upgrades".

Notably:

• creating more of a "chopping" profile
• short sawback, moved away from the tip (to allow for better skinning/draw-knife cutting)
• "raised" false edge - to clear sawback
• "bell" at the end of the contoured handle for comfort and control
• rear lanyard thong
• finger hole in the blade for safety/control while draw-knife cutting
• finger ring instead of drop-guard for security/control

But most importantly, the tang has been drilled and the blade ground in a way to create a well balanced knife and not just another sharpened prybar.

Overall length is around 14" and the weight around 21 oz.

I will have a few of these at the Blade Show. :thumbup:

Thanks for looking!

Nice! I like the way the steel looks... what did you do to it? Looks really mean!

It is a proprietary finish (electroplating - powdercoating). Made with copper. Super durable! :thumbup:
