Knife: Another donation by a fantastic client, this PJLT will
make its way into the theatre of combat, rescues, and see the chores
of many missions. This is Pararescue's most popular knife choice, a
proven design useful for any military combat search and rescue
mission, from desert to jungle, from marine environments to glacier
rescues. It's an honor to make these knives for the United States
Air Force Pararescuemen (the PJs) and I'm doubly honored that a
special client who wishes to remain anonymous donates them for PJ
use. The PJs are our nations top military rescue service, they are
super paramedic-soldiers dedicated to saving lives, both civilian
and military. This PJLT has a high chromium stainless tool steel
blade for high corrosion resistance and toughness, hollow ground,
with a two-third length top blade swage to reduce point geometry for
piercing. The tough blade as 2" of my vicious vampire-teeth
serrations, and a good length of razor keen tanto blade with just
the right angle for tactical rescue chores. The knife has a fully
tapered tang for weight balance and is bolstered with zero-care 304
stainless steel, dovetailed to bed pinned handle scales of tough
canvas reinforced micarta phenolic. The entire blade and handle are
bead blasted for plenty of tooth when gripping wet, and for subdued
wear.
Sheath: one of my tactical combat grade tension fit sheaths
works best here, made of double thickness thermoformed kydex over a
5052H32 corrosion resistant aluminum welt frame and belt loops. The
sheath is secured with nickel plated steel Chicago screws, and
sports a burgundy lacquered engraved aluminum flashplate.
One of my best CSAR knives, graciously honoring and given to our
best, and ready for action!
