• Knife: Another great knife in the series of collaborative works by James Beauchamp and Jay Fisher. If you haven't heard about James Beauchamp and his work with me in the Enchanted Spirits Studio, please look over his page. This fine knife is an evolution of my  Macha knife adapted for use and carry in a locking sheath. The Macha Navigator has a thick, deeply hollow ground, substantially aggressive blade with a half-length top swage to reduce point profile and 2" of vampire rip teeth serrations for tough cutting chores. The 440c steel type was chosen for high corrosion resistance and is razor sharp. The blade is very thick and strong, and has a fully tapered tang with the balance point is at the fore finger. The 304 stainless steel bolsters are zero care and fully cover the quillons for strength. The bolsters are dovetailed and bed a pair of canvas reinforced micarta phenolic scales pinned with six stainless steel pins. The rear bolster has a 5/16 inch through-tang lanyard hole for security. The handle is comfortable in either traditional or reverse tactical grip.
• Sheath: The perfectly fitting sheath is one of my combat grade, waterproof, positively locking models, made from double thickness kydex, 1/4" thick welts of 5052H32 corrosion resistant aluminum, and secured with solid stainless steel Chicago screws for ultimate corrosion resistance. All the locking components are also stainless steel, so this is a marine grade sheath suitable for immersion in marine environments. The reversible aluminum belt loops will accommodate a standard 1.75" military web utility belt, and should hang on most belts or tactical gear.
• This is a real tactical combat knife suitable for all environments, highly corrosion resistant. This is, simply, one of the best combat tactical knives and sheaths made.
