Survival knife developed to free an aircrew from a downed aircraftPurposeful break between the tang and the butt cap, providing insulated protection against stray wires and absorbing any shock from hammeringMOLLE compatible sheath with built-in sharpenerOverall Length: 10.59"Proudly made in the USA
Other side looks the same. This is about 2.5 hours of using an 800 grit Japanese waterstone for the initial grinding/removing the black paint. Then using a 4000 grit stone to put on the mirror finish. (hands are sore!)
Still some rough spots that needs more work but happy with how it's turning out.
This is the knife
Not the best Survival knife but rugged and very handy. More of a brute force knife, not an every day carry for me.

Intended purpose - survival/military fixed blade.
