ASL- 5S ~ Bug Out Tactical / Survival knife

(First Run Delivery June 6) This first survival sized knife will have a blade approximately 4 7/8″″ long, 3/16″ thick, and 1 1/2″ wide. The powder coating will leave no reflective surfaces. The Micarta handle will provide good grasp and will be  impervious to water. There will be a good blend between hardness and flexibility with a Rockwell of around 57.  An all around flat edge grind and ease of field resharpening has been provided. This is the perfect knife for any special forces member, tactical team, law enforcement, first responder, or survivalist to add to their dependable gear. As a result of this research and testing, our ASL- 5S will also be the ultimate survival and bug out blade. Sheaths will be made in Kydex or leather and there is a separate cost. Call to pre-order and get on the list now. We expect tremendous response to this first knife and will see you in June at the Atlanta Blade Show. Significant discount will be provided to current active special forces members.

As many of you know obtaining an American made quality suede rifle scabbard is almost impossible. We have just found these scabbards, which are made from the highest grade American heavy weight suede. The full fringe is hand cut and the entire scabbard is hand laced. They are available in 48″ and 53″ and we can make them longer. As you can see from the photo a Sharps will fit in the long one and a full size Winchester will fit in the shorter one.
