An older/early work, the Kid was originally designed as a SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) Instructor's knife, with direct input from the SERE professional. This particular model has a double-edged hollow ground blade with a good length of serrations on the top edge for tough ripping needs, and an aggressive point with plenty of spine strength. The steel is high chromium, high carbon 440C for the greatest corrosion resistance, and is mirror polished throughout. The knife is bolstered with 304 high nickel, high chromium austenitic stainless steel bolsters, mounted with 304 peened stainless steel pins. They are dovetailed and frame a pair of hard, tough, and polished Rio Grande Agate gemstone handle scales with milky and clear areas of agate and crystal and plenty of reds and oranges. This is a very hard and tough gem, polished to a bright, glassy luster.
The sheath for this knife is one of my tension fit kydex and high strength corrosion resistant aluminum models secured with nickel plated steel Chicago screws and has a versatile nickel plated steel belt/boot clip for easy locating and wear. This is a great working tool for CSAR and utility operations.
