It's been a long slow summer. This is the first knife out of the shop in a while. Customer in Louisiana wanted desert iron wood and LSU colors, so this is what we came up with.

1095 steel. 9 3/4 OAL with a 4 1/2 inch cutting edge. Purple and yellow/gold G10 with Ironwood complete the handle. Mosaic rear pin. 9mm lanyard bead and a custom fit vertical carry sheath.

This is the first knife to feature a new and improved laser engraved makers mark.
