Fixed Blade Knives Descriptions
Hogue EX-F03
Using the skeletonized EX-F03 platform as the base, this Clip Point Karambit from Hogue Knives features a contoured and textured black G-10 handle with finger ring for increased grip and utility. The EX-F03 is an Allen Elishewitz design and every detail of this fixed blade has been thoroughly thought out. The wide handle profile offers additional grip that a thinner design lacks. Two blade styles are available: clip point and hawkbill. An auto retention sheath is included with this EX-F03 knife.
Smith & Sons Brave
The Brave is a scaled down version of the popular Cherokee by Smith & Sons. Each knife includes a leather belt carry sheath.
