John Gray – G-II Progressive

Description

JOHN GRAY 

Once in a great while I get lucky, I get excited by a new knife I find or in this case ~ a brand new Maker.     

John and I met at the New York Custom Knife Show.  He and started chatting and he mentioned he made knives and was working on his first designs.  I asked to see them and when I did I was blown away!  I immediately recognized that these knives were quality pieces that were going to explode onto the knife making scene!

During the last year he has been refining design and has recently completed the first Prototypes ~ I am very proud to offer his work here at The Fort

  Fort Henry Custom Knives is proud to be a Dealer for John Gray 

Direct from the Maker from G5 in Vegas 

This is one of the continued T.H.U.C.K. Line of knives from John ~ an impressive Framelock Tactical G-II with a custom Cracked Earth finish. 

 The thick Solid Titanium frame has been expertly contoured and chamfered for a wonderfully comfortable hand filling grip.  

The Blade has a Progressive Chisel Skinner style with a Dark Acid Wash finish. 

 The Thumb access is perfectly aligned to allow easy opening using the Dual thumbstuds.  Absolutely wonderful action.  The .187 thick ti Frame of this knife provides one of the strongest locks I have seen! 

The Oversized Pivot provides greater strength to the design but also serves as the Lock Bar Stop preventing stress on the Frame Lock from being pushed too far when disengaging. 

The intimidating CTS-XHP blade has a complicated and unique Grind. The design of this knife has hard use in mind, the Angle of the blade edge in relation to handle is meant to provide plenty of Finger/Hand clearance when using the cutting edge. The Integral Full Finger Choil area allows for close up work.  

     The thick Titanium Frame has John’s Dark Blue and Golden Bronze Cracked Earth finish on the entire Frame and the Custom Clip. 

Better be quick to score this one!
