https://pitchblackforge.bigcartel.com On indefinite hiatus from knife making. Real life is elsewhere. 108269472 Full Contact Trainer TRAIN HOW YOU FIGHT. Closed cell foam with a durable, washable rubber coating. There is no solid core, so you can use these for full contact training. The foam is dense enough to provide some feedback, but limits the possibility of injury significantly (just don’t poke your friends in the eye). Available as analogs of my two EDC models, plus Kitchen and Hunter profiles. Wash by hand in the sink with hand soap. Do not use harsh solvents. 25.00 USD https://pitchblackforge.bigcartel.com/product/full-contact-trainer https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/387591981/IMG_8185.jpeg 108269472 new out of stock 97266628 HIKETSU G10 dagger This is essentially the Arrakis, v2.0, in black Norplex G10. Fully nonmetallic and nonconductive. I’ve left more mass in the blade area, and performance tests show it functions very well while being stronger than the previous iteration. Includes thermoformed Kydex “tuck” style sheath with paracord leash. Black paracord wrap and leash on all variants. This is a pre-order. Lead time is 4 weeks for production. 85.00 USD https://pitchblackforge.bigcartel.com/product/hiketsu-g10-dagger https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/363790150/IMG_5614.jpeg 97266628 new out of stock 79700004 GAIJIN Shuriken // "hidden hand blade” (regular or XL) NOW AVAILABLE IN TWO SIZES, Note - the reverse edge option has been changed to a Wharncliffe style blade. This is the knife with the straight edge shown in the photos. There is a swedge near the tip of this knife to aid in penetration and add strength. "XL" option is the same design as the base model, but scaled up 15% - that's 1/2" more handle, and 1/2" more blade. Black Cerakote treated 80crv2 blade with stabilized cord wrap is the default for these. Simple kydex "tuck" sheath with gutted paracord leash and pull-the-dot soft loop for multiple carry options. The hole pattern on all sheaths are now spaced to accommodate molle-loc clips. The Slim Mod* version of the Gaijin is made from thinner stock (1/8”), with the same depth of bevel. This creates a more acute edge geometry, more ideal for slicing. Still plenty durable, just not as overbuilt as the Standard model. These are the same thickness as my Auslander Field Knives. New FIELD READY package: sculpted, textured Micarta scales, and sheath with MOLLE compatible clip. Available with black, coyote / FDE, or olive drab scales and matching kydex sheath. Leave a note in the sale for the color option you’d like. FIELD READY / two sheath option is the same as the regular field ready package, but with an extra sheath with leash and pull-the-dot soft loop for IWB carry. This way you can keep one sheath on your plate carrier, go bag, or battle belt, and another for everyday carry. No switching out hardware. This item is meant to be point-driven. The entire edge is sharp, but due to the relative thickness of the blade and the resulting edge geometry, it is best for puncturing. Scroll through images for examples of the two blade options. 295.00 USD https://pitchblackforge.bigcartel.com/product/shuriken-hidden-hand-blade https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/367891396/IMG_5693.jpeg 79700004 new out of stock 58194029 Ardennes or Auslander Field Knife (pre-order / commission) ARDENNES (on the left) : Robust EDC / bushcraft knife, featuring a full flat grind and a small swedge for added strength at the tip. Full tang, full distal taper, and way more pins than are strictly necessary. Blade is 80crv2, an incredibly tough steel specifically engineered for knives. Lightly force-aged with a directional satin finish. AUSLANDER (on the right) : Inspired by traditional Northern European knives, this model features a scandi grind, thinner blade profile, and more spearlike point. Full tang. Blade is 80crv2, with copper liners and hollow pins. Also lightly force-aged, with a directional satin finish. BOTH KNIVES : Standard handle material is black linen Micarta, a composite that's resistant to heat, chemical reaction, and blunt force. Upgrades are available - please message me for alternate handle materials. The micarta had been garnet blasted for a micro texture. Sheath of molded full grain leather, with recessed stitching and a small drain-hole / fish mouth at the tip to prevent accumulation of debris. Dyed black and sealed against the elements. Guaranteed to retain the knife even when held upside down. The sheath will be a bit tight when shipped out, and will take some time to break in. This is normal. The inside of the sheath is treated with a food grade oil. Kydex (thermoformed polymer) sheath now available for both bushcraft models. Soft loops with pull-the-dot snaps for attachment to belt or other gear. Scroll for photos. Full purchase price orders will go to the front of the queue.
