Overview
The OT is a step away from Joe's normal designs, that of super lightning fast, no-nonsense defensive knives. That's not to say that its not both lightning fast and no-nonsense, but that the design definitely has more of an all-round utility blade design in mind. The drop point blade is excellent at all sorts of tasks. The thinner stock makes for superb slicing. The larger handle is easy to control in multiple positions, yet sized to be carried all day. The handle profile feels more akin to a utility knife/chef's knife. Comes with a kydex sheath ready for your preferred mounting solution.
The Blade: Hand ground from beta titanium with a spearpoint profile and given a anodized tumbled finish.
The Handle: Hemp/Cord wrapped handle for a solid and secure grip without being overlly aggressive.
About Joe Watson: Joe Watson is like the stealth Bomber of the knife making world (back when it was classified). There tend to be knife collectors, and then knife users, and by users we mean guys doing serious stuff that train with a blade as a way of life. If you have heard of Joe Watson, they have probably come from these users. No flash, no hype. Just clean, purpose built, hand crafted defensive tools.
Note: Satin finished blades may have slight idiosyncrasies from the kydex sheath. Remember these are hard use tools that are meant to take a beating!
