| Combat #1
This is probably the most versatile military knife I make. Though it is designed to cut through near anything, be comfortable to use, and easy to maintain, there's no reason it shouldn't look kinda cool, too. The blade is forged O-1, through hardened and differentially tempered. This gives it a hard edge and a spring back. Forge texture and scale have been left on the ricasso and the spine, just for a little cool, and the blade flats are hand-rubbed. Actually, that texture and scale are pretty practical, though because that area of the blade will never need any maintenance. The guard is stainelss steel with a green canvas micarta handle and lined lanyard hole. The handle and guard are satin finished, not just to cut down on reflectivity, but it increases wet gripping. The sheath allows for secure carrying and not only has a lower tie down loop but also has holes in the front and rear of the belt loop to make it easy to attach it to web gear.
