The Nightwind has a long, aggressive and slender tanto style blade, and this one is hollow ground, mirror finished, and razor sharp 440C high chromium martensitic stainless steel. The knife has nice spine filework and a fully tapered tang for good weight balance. The handle is bolstered with high nickel, high chromium 304 austenitic stainless steel for zero care, and the bolsters are dovetailed and mirror polished. The handle scales are beautiful, tough, and very hard native New Mexico Jasper gemstone, and they will literally outlast the blade. The knife is sheathed in a double-thickness kydex, thermoformed sheath, bolted over a 5052H32 corrosion resistant high strength aluminum welt frame sheath, secured with blued steel Chicago screws and outfitted with a tough nickel plated steel belt clip for a variety of wear and carry options.
A great knife made for combat.
