November 26, 20169 yr Some work that went off to customers this past month. All of 'em are 80CrV2 blades with paracord over neoprene handles and Kydex sheaths. First off, a Little Rok with exposed butt that went to a Georgia state trooper. This had a 5.5" blade, longer than usual for that style. Next, a 6" little black tanto that will be going on a duty belt. A little 6" kwaiken in tan over black. Which ended up being bought along with Costello the o-tanto... ... which got used to carve the customer's Thanksgiving turkey. This black-over-olive drab Benghazi Warfighter went to a soldier. And this one was supposed to be the one above, but the touchmark ended up getting stamped sideways. I decided to aggressify the profile and make it a fully sharpened top edge. I posted a pic of it on Instagram after the cleanup grinding had been done on the profile and offered it up at a pretty good discount (especially since it was a cosmetic flaw), and it ended up getting snatched up literally about two minutes later by a repeat customer in Special Forces. He asked me to leave the butt exposed for hammering (or skullcrushing!) purposes. It, too, has a black-over-olive drab wrap.
November 27, 20169 yr Nice batch of knives....I really like Your bigger Tantos.... no nonsense tools with a vicious design! The Costello-O-tanto is a good example, awesome knife!
November 27, 20169 yr Author Thanks, Templehound! I just posted on my blog pictures from various customers using their blades, including three o-tantos. Not sure if I can post a link, but I'll give it a try... Commercial link removed as per ToS
November 28, 20169 yr I generally don't care for paracord handles, but those are sweeeeet! I really like those knives. Eespecially the one in the last pic.
