FREE SHIPPING U.S.A. ONLY! Payment Types Accepted: USPS Money Order-personal check ( needs to clear first ) Description: RC4 Originally designed in conjunction with a Legionnaire who had expressed his desire in wanting a very powerful dagger to be made, for which he had sent a sketch to the maker, and after confrontation of many mixed ideas, Tanazacq came up with a definitive pattern. Incidentally, this legionnaire never took possession of his order and Jean adopted such piece by giving it the name of Colonial Route No.4, that of Cao Bang-Langson,(Indo-china conflict) which still rings in his ears and to pay homage to all those who fought on this colonial theater of war. However, it can serves as well as a mighty hunting dagger created solely for big game bow hunters, some of which had asked Tanazacq for a blade that will be capable of going to search for their arrows deeply embedded in a tree branch, stump, or even in its trunk. This knife also had to be able to finish off and skinned an animal if needed. When ordered for such purposes, the tip of the blade is reinforced and delivered as such. Made only from D2 steel stock, its blade is 7" by a bit more than 5/16" stock ( 175/180mm pour 7mm epaisseur de la lame), guard and butt cap made from brass but the knife can be had with leather washers handle if desired as opposed to black micarta with deep grooves. The main purpose of this blade is first to finish off an animal and skin it if necessary, (deer, wild boars, big game etc) with a proven design that is both strong and sturdy such as the ones made by " ARDENLAME." ( which was Jean's company from 1981 to 1984). The model RC4 is Tanazacq's most expensive knife. Note: Free shipping (USPS with tracking #) anywhere in the Continental United States only. SOLD |
