- Knife: Custom made for a great client, here's a
PJLT with a G10 handle and locking sheath. A beautiful, useful, and
popular knife, this one will give decades of service. It's easy to
see why this is my most popular knife. The tanto blade is stout and
hollow ground for a low relief angle and a very sharp single bevel
cutting edge. Add to that the 2" of deep "vampire" serrated rip
teeth for the most stubborn cutting chores. The blade has a
two-thirds length top swage for reduced point profile, and the spine
and handle tang are clean with no filework to hold debris. The fully
tapered tang is bolstered with zero care 304 high nickel, high
chromium stainless steel bolsters which are dovetailed to bed
a striking handle of blue and black layered G10, secured with four
304 stainless steel thick 1/8" pins. G10 is a pressure and heat-formed epoxy
laminate that is reinforced with fiberglass, and one of the toughest
manmade handle materials made. It's bead blasted for increased
texture and tooth to assure a good, tight grip, aided by the
quillons on the front and rear bolster. I've domed it in the
handle swell for a comfortable shape, which also brings out the
layered pattern.
- Sheath: One of my fine locking, waterproof tactical
models on this knife; it has double-thickness kydex over
a 5052H32 corrosion resistant, high strength aluminum
welt frame. The sheath has all stainless steel locking
components for low-care and high usability with
security. The sheath is secured with stainless steel
machine screws and nickel plated steel Chicago
screws. 1.75" wide belt loops are die formed in high
strength aluminum, and are reversible for versatile
wear.
- Ultimate Extender: My client
requested an additional option, my ultimate sheath belt
loop extender. This allows a lower, more traditional
placement of the locking sheath on the belt, will
accommodate thicker belts and belts up to 2.5" wide, and
includes the anti-flop shock cord with snap retention,
the diamond pad sharpener, and the magnesium-Firesteel
fire starter. Learn more about these useful accessories

- This is a very tough knife and sheath,
the same model carried by USAF Pararescuemen, law enforcement, and
professional rescue technicians in combat and emergency rescue
operations.
Thanks, D. B.!
Hi, Jay.
I apologize that it's taken a little while to let you know that I received my PJLT a couple weeks ago. As always,
you have created an awesome piece and a work of art. I have to say that I really like the blue G10 handle material
and so does everyone else who looked at it. Thank you for adding that to my knife as it makes it unique at least
until you make a few more!
Thank you again Jay. I am always proud to display or use one of your knives and I appreciate the time, care,
and effort that goes into each and every one of them.
Until next time,
--D.
