strengths
Exceptional edge retention
Extreme corrosion resistance
Outstanding edge stability allowing for a very fine (sharp) edge

THIS VERSION OF THE BLACK TAIL
IS EQUIPPED LIMITED EDITION SCALES
We only made 20 of these Black Tails each will ship with a completely unique set of black and grey marbled G10 handle scales
Additionally, you can remove the marbled G10 scales and swap them out for the other set of scales of your choice that will be included in the box with the knife and leather sheath.
Or if you prefer a more minimalist EDC knife, you can remove the scales altogether and wrap the handle with paracord for maximum weight savings.
MEET THE MAKER
Having grown up in Texas, on my family’s homestead, it fostered a desire to seek next level tools and equipment that were more than just functional. Naturally, the creation of superior precision blades was a side effect warranted in this infinite search for perfection.
Instilled with a strong work ethic, family values, and a love for the unchartered, destiny came calling from the sea. The United States Navy has ingrained a faultless attention to detail, quality, and self-discipline in a way that leaves average or industry standard behind. These attributes have elevated each design in such a way, there are no two the same.
