  • Knife: This is the first Horrocks, custom made for a Sgt. in the 101st Airborne, serving in combat in Iraq. Weighing in at over a pound, Horrocks is a significant piece of tactical steel. The blade is 440C high chromium martensitic stainless steel, highly corrosion resistant, tough and well hardened and tempered. The blade has a great hollow grind, left plenty thick behind the point and cutting edge for excellent durability. The thick spine (over 1/4") makes a rigid framework to support the sharp, sweeping blade, reminiscent of a forward swept khukri. This is a graceful recurve that leaves plenty of weight at the belly, and plenty of thin, keen edge at the inside curve. The top of the spine is ground with a half-length tapered top swage to reduce point profile without sacrificing strength. The spine and the tang of the knife are clean, with no filework, and a fully tapered tang for good weight distribution. The thick tang has triple-pinned dovetailed bolsters of corrosion resistant nickel silver, machine engraved for personalization. The six 1/8" nickel silver pins secure the dovetailed and bedded black canvas micarta phenolic to the tang permanently. The entire knife is bead-blasted for a non-glare tactical finish, and plenty of tooth and texture for the hand at the handle. This knife is formidable in either the traditional or tactical grip style.
  • Sheath: The client requested one of my waterproof, combat-grade tension fit sheaths. The sheath has double thickness (.125") kydex panels, thermoformed over a 5052H32 corrosion-resistant aluminum welt frame. The belt loops are corrosion-resistant aluminum, accommodating a 1.75" wide belt, with both horizontal and vertical belt loop orientations available, all reversible. The entire assembly is secured with ten 1/4" shank blued steel Chicago screws.
  • A real tactical combat knife for a great client.

Thanks, C.S.!
