Overview
This fighter by Kevin L Hoffman features a double edged bead blast finished blade with .198" blade stock and 1.105" blade depth, full tang construction with black linen micarta scales. Comes with a kydex sheath. Has some scuffs, otherwise excellent condition.
This is Kevin Hoffman's "Survival Dirk", with Removable Hollow Handle. The blade is made from ATS-34 stainless steel, with a non-reflective bead blasted finish. The swedge of the blade has been sharpened for about 3 ½” from the tip. The handle is black linen micarta, with carved “lines” on either side for enhanced grip and control of the knife. There’s also spaced “cuts” in the tang, above and below, also for enhanced grip and control. The handle is hollow and can be opened with a flat head screwdriver. It is perfect for storing emergency survival necessities. There is also a small shallow hole cut into the Micarta on side B, that lines-up with a small, raised button on the custom Kydex sheath. Just another means of securing the knife in the sheath. The Kydex sheath has a rigid belt loop. This knife was acquired directly from Kevin at a Blade Show several years ago and was recently acquired from the original owner, having been in his safe for all these years. It is in excellent condition, with the slightest evidence of Kydex marks on the blade from insertion into the sheath. Kevin's "KLH" and fixed blade knife logo appear on one side of the blade, and the outline of the state of Florida is on the other side. A great tactical survival piece!
