Wilson Custom Knives: TekLine S.A.F.E. System 1 Scout Hollow Handle Survival Knife
So, at 14 years old there were two things that any red-blooded American boy lusted after: Elle Macpherson and a hollow handled survival knife like John Rambo had. Sam Wilson of Wilson Custom Knives has been making some rad survival knives to keep on that legacy of capable, bad@$$ blades with his own twist. His S.A.F.E. System 1 is designed to be a mid sized functional survival/field knife that can tackle anything you might throw at it without being overlly large and cumbersome. The mid sized capable blade is large enough for some serious work, yet thanks to the lightweight materials easy enough to keep on your person or in a pack comfortably. The aluminum handle is light and strong, and features a cord wrap for extra grip and as backup cord. The handle provides a waterproof storage compartment to put some survival gear or whatever else you need. The aluminum guard keeps your hand from sliding forward, and helps protect from impacts. A compass has been embedded into the handle butt cap, which features knurling and a lanyard hole. The S.A.F.E. System 1 comes with a custom leather sheath for a secure carry.
The Blade: Clip point profile with top swedge and given a satin finish.
The Handle: Cord wrapped aluminum tube with waterproof internal storage. Aluminum guard and knurled butt cap with compass featuring an anodized finish
