- Knife: This is a great knife, custom ordered
by one of our military. The knife design is my popular PJLT, combat
proven and CSAR ready. The knife blade is mirror polished 440C high
chromium martensitic stainless tool steel, hardened and tempered to
59HRC for great hardness and wear resistance. The hollow ground
blade has a single bevel razor keen edge and two inches of my
aggressive Vampire rip-teeth serrations. The blade hollow is
custom-etched with the Germanic-Danish runes meaning
Scorpion. The blade has a half-length top swage to reduce point
profile, and has full modified vine filework for increased tactile
purchase and original handmade style.The fully tapered tang mounts
two pairs of 304 high nickel, high chromium austenitic stainless
steel bolsters. The front bolster is hand-engraved with a detailed
scorpion on both sides, and the rear bolster has a through-tang
lanyard hole for security. The bolsters are dovetailed and bed a
pair of very cool Lapis Lazuli gemstone handle scales. This gem was
supplied by the owner and acquired in Afghanistan, and honors his service
there. The
gem (also called Lazurite) is actually classified as a rock, because
it contains several minerals, namely blue lazurite, hauynite,
sodalite, and noselite as well as pyrite, calcite, diopside,
feldspar, and mica. This beautiful stone has a very old and
respected past, admired and used for over 6,000 years. This
particular gemstone has streaks of mica in calcite, deep blue areas,
and nice gold-colored pyrite flakes throughout.
- Sheath: The sheath for this knife is one of my
positively locking military tactical combat models, made of double
thickness kydex in desert camo tan outside and gray inside, 5052H32 corrosion resistant high strength aluminum
alloy welt frame, 304, 302, and 316 stainless steel locking
mechanism and components, bound with nickel plated steel Chicago screws and
18-8 stainless machine screws. The high strength aluminum belt loops
are reversible for a variety of wear positions.
- A great custom knife, unique and original, made for a special
client.
