Summiter III           WCB-033: Summiter III The Summiter III is the culmination of my Summiter knife designs...a version with all the aspects I liked and none that I didn't like. This will be the style knife that our Secret Spot 7 Summits Team will be carrying with us as we traverse the highest mountains on each continent...the 7 Summits. This knife hails more to its Nepali Khukuri influence more than its predecessors. A steeper forward curve in the blade allows for more cutting power, naturally allowing the intended object(s) to slide right into the sweet-spot of the blade. The wider blade and full 1/4inch-thick spine allows for greater versitility than the previous versions. The ergonomic design lets you comfortably choke up tight on the blade for precission applications or grip it back further for greater chopping power. The scale from forging the blade was left along the top side and I used my popular 'mustard' finish to provide added corrosion resistance and a rustic look. The end of the handle can be used as a pry-bar, large, flat-head screwdriver, or just a solid pommel for hammering. The sheath is primarily worn as a back-draw, but is identicle on the front and back, allowing for a variety of carry positions that can easily be shifted around to accomodate different gear configurations. As always, my sheaths are hand-stitched and sealed for water resistance.
