Took my TTSK ( Tiny Terror Survival Knife ), that John of JK Knives made for me, out today for it's first test run !

Here is a pic of it compared to a SAK ( and a Jack Russell ! ).....

When I drew up the design it was guess work as to how the handle would feel, it turned out every bit as good as I had hoped and is by far the most comfy and versatile handle on any of my knives !

Your hand locks in rock soild in whatever grip you use........

When you need to fine tune that notch in your fig 4 trap or fluff up that bark ready to take a spark from your ferro rod, this blade makes using a pinch grip a breeze !

The edge it came with shaved hair and cleanly sliced post-it's but for me cutting wood is always the real test and this made easy work of this task also and was a pleasure to use !

With John's great heat treat there were no worries when battoning it through this Fatwood !

Incase your wondering what the pooches were doing while I was putting the knife through it's paces, they were occupying themselves !!!

The sheath that John had made was a rugged no nonsense affair that was in it for the long haul just like the knife and rode at a perfect height for me !

Incase you can't tell this is my new favourite knife !!!

I like your design, pitman. Nice pics of God's country out there, too.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Thanks for sharing. I really like the design that you came up with.

BTW, it looks like you have a couple great poochs there too.
