"Vindicator" with Lapis Lazuli Gemstone handle |
The Nihal Magnum is an enlarged version of my Nihal pattern, and this one was custom designed and made for tactical combat duty. The blade is beautifully mirror polished ATS-34 high molybdenum stainless steel for super toughness in the thin cross-sectional areas of the blade point, and is deeply hollow ground with a clean and well-matched radius and grind lines. The blade is fully fileworked, with a fully tapered tang for balance. The knife is bolstered with clean and polished nickel silver bolsters which are dovetailed to bed a pair of multi-pinned green canvas Micarta phenolic handle scales that are smoothly finished and polished. This is a three-fingered handle, and the design rests comfortably in the palm of the hand in the forward grip styles. The client requested a traditional tactical black basket weaved leather sheath, and this one is built out of 9-10 oz. leather shoulder, hand-stitched with polyester sinew, lacquered and sealed. A great, keen and aggressive tactical knife.
