Should the A.T.A.K.tm or Taiho be a little small for what you need, we offer the T.U.S.K.tm - Tactical Utility Sniper Knife. Orignally designed for use by U.S. Marine snipers, the T.U.S.K. has a 10" blade, full flat ground from 1/4"x 2" stock, comes fully serrated, and features a positive included included angle for better edge presentation. Ideal for all heavy tasks from cutting trees and brush for building a sniper hide to skinning your elephant in Africa, the T.U.S.K. can do, and has done, it all.
Blade: 10" full flat ground. 3/4 length straight clip. Fully serrated.
Finish: Hard chrome.
Grip: Black glass/ epoxy composite.
Length: 15/4 overall.
Weight: Knife - 23oz. Sheath - 8 oz.
Sheath: A.T.A.K. style combat sheath
The blade steel is Starrett 496-01 high carbon tool steel. Selectively tempered, the A.T.A.K.tm has a Rockwell C-scale hardness of 62 at the edge (as hard as a file), and HRC 50-54 throughout the spine and hidden full tang. This provides superior edge-holding ability with exceptional durability for prying and chopping. Each blade is hard chromed providing excellent corrosion inhibition. The ergonomic grip indexes the blade in the user's hand, thus letting the user know how the blade is presented, even in the dark. Mad Dog Knivestm uses a glass/epoxy composite grip material that is compression bonded to the hidden full tang. With a compressive yield strength of 79,000 psi, the grip can withstand tremendous punishment with no damage. The composite grip material provides 1,000 volts per mil dielectric strength - electrically isolating the user from the blade. Our grip material is also impervious to virtually all chemicals and solvents.
Comes standard with a Mad Dog Knivestm combat sheath formed from Kydex®. Utilizing dual retention, lashing holes, and a lower leg strap loop, this sheath is jump qualified and may be worn in several positions, including inverted.
