Knife: A great custom knife, this Hooded
Warrior has extra length in the blade by custom order. This makes
the blade even more Khukri-like with a substantial belly and good
reach. The steel is high chrome-moly tool steel ATS-34 which has
greater toughness in the thinner cross sectional areas due to the
high molybdenum content. The blade is beautifully ground, with
sweeping recurve and polished to a mirror finish. It has a
razor-sharp single bevel edge. The Hooded Warrior has a half-length
top swage to reduce the point thickness, yet has substantial meat
behind the point. The blade spine has nice vine filework to aid in
tactile purchase, while adding a bit of personal handmade flair. The
thick blade is fully tapered at the tang for weight balance, and the
handle is comfortable and well-shaped. The bolsters are clean,
crisply polished 304 austenitic high-nickel, high-chromium stainless
steel for zero care and great strength and longevity. They are
multi-pinned for permanent attachment, and dovetailed to bed a pair
of Gaboon Ebony exotic hardwood scales. This ebony is a very fine
ebony, harder to find these days, and a premium knife handle
material. It's warm and comfortable to grip in either forward or
reverse grip styles.
Sheath: The sheath for this knife is one of my
positively locking military tactical combat models, made of double
thickness kydex, 5052H32 corrosion resistant high strength aluminum,
304, 302, and 316 stainless steel locking mechanism and components,
bound with nickel plated steel Chicago screws and 18-8 stainless
machine screws. The belt loops are reversible for a variety of wear
positions.
The Hooded Warrior was originally designed by a sniper in the
101st Airborne for combat, and this knife honors that design.
