RingScout in CPM3V

The RS (RingScout) was designed as a standalone outdoor companion. The overall length of 9 1/2" and effective cutting edge of 4 3/8" form a 6 1/2 ounce knife that is ready for most trail and outdoor tasks...with a twist.

The ring located at the pommel end of the knife lends itself to new solutions for old problems:

• A forehand or backhand grip is achieved with positive ergonomic feel and security of retention. The RingScout is at home and ready for work in both formats.

• For fire starting, a ferrocerium rod fits perfectly in the ring indention. This indention is left with a square edge to provide excellent rod engagement for sparks.

• Spine replacement - use the ring to more accurately perform task traditionally left to the spine...such as scraping or removing materials, with a positive grip and controlled force.

• Force striking is an option through a hammer strike with a traditional grip, or a backhand grip with a strike force point at the knuckle. Both options provide a positive and safer way to use your knife.

• Full tang design brings structural stability for high force applications.

• One problem NOT improved here is state law. My understanding is New York, California, and Texas have issues with knives with rings. Please make sure this is legal to own in your area before purchasing!
