Project I

The Project I has a spear point blade and was designed in conjunction with Sgt. Karl Lippard, USMC and author of "The Warriors - United States Marines". The idea was to fulfill all the features which Sgt. Lippard felt were vital for a knife carried by a Marine. The 7.5" blade is perfect for chopping, digging and cutting, with sufficient weight up front for maximum strength and great balance. The wave serrations on the cutting edge are designed to cut easily through nylon cord or harness. The 2" cross guard has a night index which tells you by touch which direction the cutting edge is facing. The Project II has all the features of the Project I but has a traditional clip point blade. The symmetrical leather sheath has a strap-and-snap closure that can be moved to accommodate left or right hand draw.

Each knife is made from a solid billet of A2 tool steel. This method results in two distinct advantages-the strength/weight ratio is exceptional and there is no handle/blade join. This means that there is no area where the blade and handle could come apart. A2 Tool Steel offers excellent edge retention and good shock resistance Hardness at between 55 and 57 Rockwell C is not brittle but gives good edge retention along with ease of sharpening.
