About the MK2

Slim, with a nitrile grip that holds in the wet. Four inch blade.

Full description

The MK2 is the slim one. Four inches of blade on an eight inch knife, with a handle kept narrow on purpose so it rides flat and does not print. What makes it worth owning is the grip. The handle pairs G10 with nitrile, which keeps hold when your hands are wet, cold or greasy. Most handle materials get slick exactly when you need them not to. The blade is drawn fine towards the tip, so it gets into tight work other knives of this size cannot reach, and it still has the stock behind it to take real use. Five thirty-seconds of 1095 high carbon steel at 58-59 HRC. Hand molded Kydex sheath with a Blade-Tech clip. Ground, heat treated and fitted by hand in North Carolina. It will patina, so keep it dry and oiled.

Incredible knife!! The handle ergonomics are perfect for reverse grip and the best retention hook I have ever used!!!! Also check out the green beret dagger!!

A viable back-up should something happen with your concealed carry handgun.
