Sheath: Ringmark Lizard Inlaid in Hand-Tooled 9-10 oz. Leather Shoulder
Knife: Argyre is named for a mythical ancient Greek island made of silver.
The silvery color of the blade and bolsters are at the forefront of the
knife's character, and the pattern is a tough, proven tactical design.
I've made a similar style for years for SWAT team members. The blade
style is an aggressive tanto, with a beefy spine, half-length top swage,
and angular geometry contrasting the curved appeal of the handle. The
blade is hollow-ground and mirror polished high chromium 440C
martensitic tool steel, very thin at the point, with clean,
straightforward lines. The blade is fully fileworked with my "broken
bow" design throughout the spine and handle, all the way to the choil
cutout. The straight handle is full and large for a substantial grip,
with good quillions for a confident grip in either traditional (forward)
or tactical (reverse) position. The bolsters are zero-care high
nickel-chromium 304 stainless steel, super-tough and corrosion proof.
They are dovetailed at the handle material, which is very hard, tough,
and striking Crazy Lace Agate Gemstone from Central America. It's
impossible to capture the intricacies and pattern of this gem in a
photograph, the lines, crystals, lacing, and bands descend into the
microscopic range. This gemstone is absolutely astounding. I
book-matched the pair of handle scales, so the flow lines and pattern
appears to extend through the tang.
Sheath: The sheath is one of my multi-inlaid types, with 15 individual panels
of burgundy ringmark lizard skin inlays in 9-10 oz. hand-tooled leather
shoulder, hand-stitched with polyester sinew, the toughest binder on the
market. The thick welts and angular shape support a 1.5" belt loop, set
at a steep angle for nearly horizontal wear. This sheath would sit well
at the back side of the belt, with the cutting edge down and the handle
extending to the right for a behind the belt grab with the right hand
into either tactical or traditional grip.
This is a beautiful investment grade tactical knife, assertive,
effective, and clean.
