Overview
Hand forged by Ryan Johnson at the Gold Point Forge! The Catacombs Knife from Ryan has a near perfect balance of function and form making it a solid choice for most anything you encounter. The convex ground drop point blade profile is a great general use shape with a large belly for slicing, and features a forged Catacombs pattern on the blade 'flats' for some extra killer looks! The tapered tang design keeps the weight down without sacrificing strength and has been cord wrapped for a solid and secure grip without being abrasive. Comes with a custom leather sheath with RMJ embossings and OWB loop.
About the 37 SK In Ryan's words: "Back 12 years or so ago we had the opportunity to teach forging classes to the cadre of Range 37 at the JFK Special Warfare Center and School (“Where the resistance begins!”) After that I drew up a knife and tomahawk blank that could be forged different ways and was intended to be cord wrapped - something the guys there at the range could bang out for friends and such. I fell in love with the concept as I love the idea of simplifying concepts to their core. Hence the 37 Kestrel, and 37 SK, etc.
I still see some of the guys from that class using the concept to craft knives."
