KA Custom - Jason Fixed Blade - French Kitchen Knife

A Kingdom Armory design from the early days, the "Jason" has found a special place in hearts around the globe. Always made in the full custom format, it is an extremely efficient culinary knife modeled after a traditional French design. Not just relegated to the chef's life though, it has doubled as a field knife for both woodsman around the globe and soldiers deployed overseas. Always overbuilt with the best materials and Dave's obsessive eye to detail. The Jason really is a do everything blade. In fact, the Family Jason often goes from kitchen block to kydex sheath and out the door when we travel. Everyone has a healthy respect for a Chef's Knife!

11.5" in overall length with 6.5" of cutting edge, this particular knife is hand flat ground from CPM154 and wears a satin stonewashed finish. Almost all of Dave's kitchen cutlery is made from CPM154, which has proven to be a highly stain resistant stainless that holds an edge well in practical use. Let's all be honest...you know you're going to leave it in the sink wet and covered in barbecue sauce...or have a brain fart and run it through the dishwasher (that's a knife makers worst nightmare by the way) CPM, holds up fantastically well to abuse and neglect.

Rounded-chamfered handle is made from coyote brown G10 with a forward stepped detail for traction. It is affixed to the handle with Titanium bolts, which are removable should you need to (just don't forget to tape the live edge, should you decide to do that...ask me how, I know).

Laser beam sharp, you shouldn't have any problem slicing your tomatoes or carving the roast beast. And branded with its own custom designed logo, Jason just looks damn cool doing it!

This iteration comes with a traditional Saya sheath that is made in Hood River, Oregon. The felt wool and leather is not only beautiful and elegantly simple, it does a great job of protecting a kitchen knife in a drawer full steak knives you really didn't want for your wedding, and allowing for safe transport to your next BBQ at Bubba's house. Bring beer and a sharp knife!
