"PJLT" Custom Tactical CSAR Pararescue Combat Rescue Officer's Collaborative Knife by Rusty Russom and Jay Fisher
  • Size: Length overall: 10.75" (27.3 cm), Blade Length: 5.7" (14.5 cm), Thickness: .193" (4.9 mm)
  • Weight: Knife: 9.0 oz. (255 grams) Sheath: 12.0 oz. (340 grams)
  • Blade: 440C High Chromium Martensitic Stainless Tool Steel, Hardened and Tempered to Rockwell C58, Bead Blasted
  • Bolsters, Fittings: 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel, Bead Blasted
  • Handle: Black Canvas Reinforced Micarta Phenolic
  • Sheath: Kydex, Aluminum, Nickel Plated Steel
  • Knife: This is a great version of our popular PJLT, the Pararescue LighT, a tough knife originally designed and made for United States Air Force Pararescuemen, our nation's top military rescue service. This particular knife was custom ordered to honor a Combat Rescue Officer being given a change of command. The PJLT has a bead-blasted non-glare high chromium martensitic stainless steel blade for extremely high corrosion resistance and great wear characteristics. We hollow ground the blade for great longevity through repeated sharpenings, and the tanto point style creates a tough primary and secondary point geometry for cutting through the toughest textiles and materials. Rusty created a great set of very aggressive Vampire rip teeth serrations to aid in sawing and ripping chores in the field, and the knife has a half-length top swage to reduce point profile without sacrificing spine strength. The knife has zero-care 304 austenitic high nickel, high chromium stainless steel bolsters that are dovetailed and bed a pair of black canvas reinforced micarta phenolic scales. The scales are secured with six through-tang 304 stainless steel pins for a solid fit. The tang is fully tapered for weight balance, and the rear bolster has a hawk's bill for easy extraction from the sheath and a quarter inch chamfered lanyard hole for security. The knife feels strong and solid in the hand, and the balance point is right at the forefinger placement in forward grip. It's easy to see why this is one of our most popular knives across many professional and civilian fields.
  • Sheath: We created one of our excellent waterproof tactical tension fit sheaths; it's made of double-thickness kydex over a 5052H32 corrosion resistant, high-strength aluminum welt frame. The sheath is secured with nickel plated steel Chicago screws. 1.75" wide belt loops are included in die-formed, high strength aluminum and are reversible as well as able to be relocated to the lower screw set on the sheath for reversible and versatile wear on a belt, PALS webbing on tactical gear, or any type of strap or web. The custom engraved flashplate with the US Air Force Combat Rescue Officer emblem is made from black lacquered brass.
  • We're proud to have been chosen to create this project. This is a fine knife to be given to honor to a commander in our nation's top military combat rescue service for his change of command.

Thanks again, M.M. and B.M.!
