"Minuteman" Tactical, Combat Custom Knife

The Minuteman is a large tanto that I typically make for servicemen in combat, but it also is deserving of collector's status because it's a beautiful knife. This one has a bead blasted and hot blued O-1 high carbon tungsten-vanadium tool steel blade, with two inches of aggressive serrations and a half-length top swage. The bolsters (three pairs) are brightly polished nickel silver, and the handle is striking Budstone (Verdite) gemstone from Africa. The sheath is one of my locking models, in double thick kydex, corrosion resistant high strength aluminum, and all stainless steel locking components with blued steel Chicago screws. A beautiful and durable knife.
