(First Run Delivery June 6) This first survival sized knife will have a blade approximately 4 7/8″″ long, 3/16″ thick, and 1 1/2″ wide. The powder coating will leave no reflective surfaces. The Micarta handle will provide good grasp and will be  impervious to water. There will be a good blend between hardness and flexibility with a Rockwell of around 57.  An all around flat edge grind and ease of field resharpening has been provided. This is the perfect knife for any special forces member, tactical team, law enforcement, first responder, or survivalist to add to their dependable gear. As a result of this research and testing, our ASL- 5S will also be the ultimate survival and bug out blade. Sheaths will be made in Kydex or leather and there is a separate cost. Call to pre-order and get on the list now. We expect tremendous response to this first knife and will see you in June at the Atlanta Blade Show. Significant discount will be provided to current active special forces members.
