"Nihal Magnum" Custom Tactical Knife

The Nihal Magnum is an enlarged version of my Nihal pattern, and this one was custom designed and made for tactical combat duty. The blade is beautifully mirror polished ATS-34 high molybdenum stainless steel for super toughness in the thin cross-sectional areas of the blade point, and is deeply hollow ground with a clean and well-matched radius and grind lines. The blade is fully fileworked, with a fully tapered tang for balance. The knife is bolstered with clean and polished nickel silver bolsters which are dovetailed to bed a pair of multi-pinned green canvas Micarta phenolic handle scales that are smoothly finished and polished. This is a three-fingered handle, and the design rests comfortably in the palm of the hand in the forward grip styles. The client requested a traditional tactical black basket weaved leather sheath, and this one is built out of 9-10 oz. leather shoulder, hand-stitched with polyester sinew, lacquered and sealed. A great, keen and aggressive tactical knife.
