(GunReports.com) — In 2012, Wilson Tactical will offer a limited collection of handmade knives by some of today’s premier tactical knife makers without the long wait typically associated with special ordering a custom-edged masterpiece.
These newly designed knives featured in the new Custom Alliance will be few in number. One of the knives is the “Panthera Fighter” by David Broadwell.
The blade of the lightning-fast Panthera Fighter is hand ground and finished from ELMAX stainless, a Swedish powdered metal “super” steel with amazing toughness and wear resistance that also takes a flawless hand-satin finish.
The contoured handle is crafted from a block of rare and beautiful stabilized Hawaiian Koa wood. Koa is a tough wood that often exhibits chatoyancy, an optical condition when wood grain exhibits a shimmering three-dimensional character. The panels are affixed with hand-textured titanium pins.
The premium leather sheath for the Panthera Fighter was custom made by Lance Parrish of Southpaw Leatherworks. The Pantera is limited to ten serial-numbered pieces. $1095.
