Description: I was very excited when I first got a look at Ben Akin's knives. Ben is a custom knifemaker from Washington State. He is an avid sportsman and so it is no surprise that he makes custom knives for the outdoors. His knives are exceptionally well designed and tested. His attention to detail is clearly evident in each of his creations. He is a member of the American Bladesmith Society, the Idaho Knife Association, The Oregon Knife Collectors Association, and the Montana Knifemakers Association. He both forges and stock removes his knives.
This high performance EDC is a perfect knife for every day use and carry. At just 4.2 oz, it is easy to keep by your side.
The O1 carbon steel blade is razor sharp and will keep that edge exceptionally well. The blade features an heirloom quality hand rubbed satin finish. The spine is fileworked for a secure thumb purchase.
The contoured, ergonomic handle is made from black G10. It is set on a full tang. A lined lanyard loop completes the handle.
The knife is accompanied by a custom leather sheath by Cindy Akin Leathercrafts, Ben's wife. The natural veg-tanned leather avoids the chemicals in chrome tanned leather that can harm the surface of steel blades. Ritza Tiger Thread stands up to the elements while you are out and about.
Excellent work throughout!
