TANK
Flat Ground - Hand Satin Finish - Tapered Tang - High Grade Semi Stainless steel
Overall length = 7 1/4" Blade Length = 2 1/2 Hand Size = All sizes"
The Tank is a relatively smaller knife, as compared to The Defender. It is specially designed in its shorter length to be heavy weight in the hand for added power. Flat Ground with a Thick edge for heavier duty jobs such as: Shelter building(small limbs of trees), heavy shaping of wood. Although this knife was designed for Wilderness duty, there are those who are purchasing the Tank as a dedicated Skinner.
Besides back pack Hunting in slightly remote areas, I am also a Canoe enthusiast and have enjoyed long treks in British Columbia during times of the year when Great winds and or heavy weather changes(such as snowfall) can cause havoc.
My goal on this smaller Wilderness Knife, was to make a knife that was very strong, with an edge that would last and be ever so easy to carry, and still deliver enough power to perform lightweight chopping duties. Although a small knife can never replace the power stroke of a bigger knife, like The Defender, You will be surprised at what this little knife knife can do!
