When it comes to steel, scales and leather badassery Pete Kohler and Dave Raffensperger are your go to masters.

The master of disaster finally got a blade that is more than worthy You lucky man.Pete Kohler is the man I have not seen a knife put out with Pete even when he helps design that isn't a work of art the man is truly a blacksmithing artisan and Dave is the man when it comes to leather work they are truly the team that sets the bar .I hope to one day become a member of the prestigious club of Owning a Dark Timber custom.

art is the right word here

Both the knife and sheath look amazing. And the name fits perfectly. Lucky bastard, you! I wonder how many hours does it take to make a knife like this.

Dude that's some serious Indiana Jones ninja shit right there!! I can smell the leather from here...

The sheath though it's dope

Dear Lord above that's beautiful.

hey brother, look at the blade again, just above and all along the blades edge you'll see a slight discoloration, that takes place during heat treatment, it's what you want it makes the edge stronger to hold a strong sharp edge. SOFA KING AWESOME

Its so beautiful, I wouldn't know if choop with it or put it on showcase and charge for pictures.

Amazing pair for sure.

I am blown away bro.

most beautyful handle ever!

I think I drooled a bit... WOW!

That is a beautiful blade. But yes thrash it!!! Take it to the limits until it show signs of wear than take it home and resharpen it and do it again the next day😀

That's an awesome knife

Hey Tac. What's your opinion of big blades with paracord grips ?

So is there gonna be a final to the big chop off?

Now thats worthy of a grail knife... ive wanted a DT for a long time. :(

actually this is the only knife i really like that looks kind of traditional you know with wooden handle leather sheath and stuff... but when will you make a test on this beautiful piece? i cant wait to see this puppy in action

I KNO I ONLY HIT THE 11TH GRADE BY LUCK..UR THE MAN TACT MY SON LOVES YOUU

You deserve it man.freakin beautiful

Tac I see the beginnings of a new blade challenge......the mega-badass custom knife chop off. I suggest you solicit some entries from other KZfaqrs who also have "the baddest knife there is" and cobble them altogether for a major custom chop off!
