Nick’s signature blade,  the Texas Tornado!

This one with mild steel, dovetailed bolsters and featuring Lignum Vitae handle scales.

The common name lignum vitae is Latin, and means “tree of life” or “wood of life,” which is derived from the tree’s many medicinal uses. Regarded as one of the heaviest and hardest woods in the world. Its durability in submerged or ground-contact applications is legendary—it has been used for propeller shaft bearings on ships, and its natural oils provide self-lubrication that gives the wood excellent wear resistance.

A right handed, leather sheath is included. (Left handed version also available)
