Ed Brown Products, renowned for their top class handguns, has just released the K1 Field Knife, designed by award winning master bladesmith Jason Knight of Winkler Knives –

The Ed Brown K1 is ideal for tactical or outdoor use, and features a sculpted Micarta handle with unique “Snakeskin” scallops, and hand ground and sharpened Carbon steel blade. Extremely rugged, and durable, the 80CrV2 carbon steel blade will hold up to extreme use, and features a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance.

Includes a hand molded Kydex sheath. We recommend a light coating of oil on your cutting edge to prevent corrosion.
