NIKOV KNIVES
That is an interesting concept of survival/fighting knife that I saw years ago, made in collaboration between from one of the best american knifemakers and his close friend, a green beret, with a lot of experience with knives. The story of the knife. Of course I made my own version, a bit wider, with a larger handle, for comfort with different grips, for both precise cutting and chopping. Compared to the Beast model that is blade heavy, Ranger is a balanced and faster knife that can be both – tool and weapon.
