Joe Watson Kris One-Off - Satin/Cord Wrapped Rayskin w/Tracker Dan Sheath
This Kris one-off is Joe's take on the popular, Kris style blades blade. The upswept Kris blade features numerous curves and has been sharpened on both sides for twice the cutting power. Geared more towards slashing and prodding the Kris blade profiles leaves nasty wound channels and can be devastating when employed effectively. Joe's interpretation of this design is a very practical tool for EDC as well as defensive applications in either the forward or reverse grip. The handle has a fine cord wrapping that has then been wrapped around rayskin base and copper jester menuki, with resin cured nylon. The result is extremely 'grippy' and get remains easy to carry without being overly abrasive on your clothing and skin. Included is a molded ambi Tracker Dan kydex sheath with an integrated IWB clip.
The Blade: Hand ground Kris blade profile with a sharpened top edge and given a satin finish.
The Handle: Tsuka wrapped rayskin handle w/brass menuki.
The Sheath: Ambidextrous Tracker Dan Kydex sheath with integrated IWB clip.
