- Knife: This is one of my popular Combat
Search and Rescue (CSAR) knives, the Pararescue Jumper LighT, or
PJLT. Designed and used by United States Air Force
Pararescuemen, our nation's top military rescue service, the
PJLT is an all-business tactical combat and rescue tool, weapon,
and adjunct. This one is made for a military client for his
professional use. Please read more about the PJLT on a very
special page on my site at
this link. It is an honor to make knives
and have them carried into battle, rescues, and on missions by
these elite forces. This particular CSAR knife has a highly
corrosion resistant 440C stainless steel blade, mirror finished
for easy care and cleaning, and great corrosion resistance. It's
got 2" of of my extremely aggressive Vampire rip teeth
serrations, and a two-thirds length top swage to reduce the
point profile without sacrificing strength in the blade spine.
The knife has full light filework for increased tactile contact
and original flair. The bolsters are super-tough zero care 304
austenitic high nickel, high chromium stainless steel,
dovetailed and bedding a pair of tough canvas reinforced Micarta
phenolic handle scales, secured with six 304 stainless steel
pins. The rear bolster has a 1/4" through-tang lanyard hole for
additional security. This is a very useful, well-made combat
knife that has been picked up by Emergency Response Teams,
Rescue professionals, Hazardous Materials specialists, and law
enforcement.
- Sheath: The sheath is tension fit double-thickness kydex over a 5052H32 corrosion resistant, high
strength aluminum alloy welt frame, secured with nickel plated steel Chicago
screws and aluminum belt loops.
- One of the best going to one of our best!
