Pararescueman, the Lynx is an evolution of several of my combat SAR tactical
knives. This is a medium sized, double edged knife, and the blade has double
hollow grinds, differentially ground, with an 8" hollow grind in the main grind,
and a 3" hollow grind supporting over 5 inches of my Vampire rip teeth
serrations. The blade is low care 440C stainless, hardened and tempered to a
tough, hard, very useable set, and bead blasted for a non-reflective finish for
combat use. The fully tapered tang gives perfect balance at the forefinger, and
the tang is fully fileworked in my "Madcat" pattern for unique personalization
and improved grip. The handle shape is isometric, so it is the same no matter
how it is held, and what cutting edge is used. The handle neck and quillons are
well-shaped for comfort and control. The bolsters, pins, and lanyard liner tube
are 304 stainless steel, a high nickel, high chromium austenitic stainless steel
that is hard, tough, wear resistant and corrosion free. The handle is super
tough linen reinforced Micarta phenolic, one of the most durable handle
materials made. The handle is also bead blasted for great tactile purchase, even
when wet.
- Sheath: The sheath is one of my combat
grade, waterproof, tension fit models, made from double thickness kydex, 1/4"
thick welts of 5052H32 corrosion resistant aluminum, and secured with nickel
plated steel Chicago screws. The reversible belt loops will accommodate a
standard 1.75" military web utility belt, and should hang on most MOLLE gear or
PALS webbing.
- A tough, light, useable combat search and rescue tactical knife for real battlefield or rescue missions.
Thanks, K. W.!
