Make/Model: Dead Metal Baskerville, Rainbow Smoke
Blade Material: CPM 154

Description:   Sharkey won't tell me how he does it, but the Rainbow Smoke pattern in a non glare finish is a sight to behold. In this case the new Baskerville looks more like an apparition, a close quarter combat wraith so to speak. The Baskerville is a well balanced design that moves quickly and quietly as it goes about it's work.

From the tip of the massive clip blade to the functional pry bar butt, the personal touches of the maker have created the ultimate survival tool.

Blade Material: 3/16" CM154
Length/Style: 8" Modified Tanto
Handle Material: Green Para Cord Wrap
Overall Length: 13"
Sheath or Clip: Kydex Sheath
Description: If the beauty of a knife is measured by it's ability to saw through a fuselage, pry open a crate of ammo, chop wire or to help you survive in any number of ways, then this is a beautiful knife. The grooved thumb ramp allows positive control of this workhorse that fits the hand so well. An aggressive proprietary serration pattern along the spine that cuts on the push and the pull, was designed with aluminum in mind, but will ferociously attack both webbing and wood.   The butt is designed as both a skull crusher and a pry bar.
