RSK specifications: This knife came out of my Kinzua model. In November 2009, I ground off the thumb ramp on a Kinzua, and liked it! I then decided to have the blank jet out with a cavity in the center so it could be easily cord wrapped. The RSK acronym stands for "reserve survival knife", similar to the PSK concept. I liked the way RSK sounded and wanted to differentiate slightly from the PSK. I am also having handle scales milled-out to fit into the cavity and lock into place and be contoured on the other. They should be ready in August 2010 and will be interchangeable. Leather sheaths will also be available to fit the blank when it has scales mounted to it. The knife is ground be hand, by me, and finished to medium scotch-brite. The primary bevel is ground full flat with a convexed secondary bevel.
Measurements: OAL: 7-5/8". Cutting edge: 3-3/8". Stock: 1/8".
Finishing: These A2 knives (I am loving A2) are heat treated, cryogenically treated, triple tempered, and tested to guaranteed Rc of 59-61 by Peters of Meadville, PA.
Other Details: The knife weighs 2.5 ounces wrapped with lanyard, and 3.5 with sheath. There is approximately 7 feet of 550 para-cord used in wrapping each knife.
