Overview

This ""Safer"" knife from Koi Knifeworks

The Safer Knife is a combination of a TDI design, and a pikal. The concept is that the knife is worn on your support, or weak side, away from your primary weapon. If, in the event that you can't reach your firearm, or are in a struggle for it, you can draw the knife in a reverse grip and deploy it in a forward thrust, or in a reverse cut.
Not having had any training in close quarters knife defense, such as shivworks, the style of use is left up to you. The carry options with the Tek-Lok is left or right handed vertical, horizontal, or at 45 degrees.

Made from 5/32"" O-1 tool steel, with a 3"" edge. The main and top chisel ground bevels are hollow ground, with a flat ground front edge. The ergonomic handle is black and butterscotch micarta, with micarta pins. The hand stitched leather sheath has a positive, firm, wet formed fit.

 This piece is in excellent condition and shows no signs of use/carry.

About the Maker

Koi Knifeworks

I started making knives about four years ago, I used to be a freelance Illustrator, and a sculptor, and sold my artwork in a gallery. I made a career change about ten years ago, and I was no longer producing any artwork, and needed a creative outlet. I had always been interested in knives as tools and as pieces of craftsmanship, and had been a knife collector since childhood. Since I had some experience in fabricating objects with metal, I set out to learn how to make knives. I have always been interested in, and felt a connection to Japanese history, their art and design, and after practicing the Japanese Martial Art ?Aikido? for many years, I became interested in the history, and the blade designs of Japanese edged weapons. The fact that every part of traditional Japanese weapons was an art form, really intrigued me, so I set out to learn everything that I could about the process. All of my knives are small, fixed blade knives, made from O-1 tool steel. On advice from different sources, this steel was recommended for its quality, and ease of heat treating, and I have learned to love its edge holding ability. Early on, I got some advice that I took to heart, don?t try to make knives from many types of steel, pick one, and master it. I really am enjoying the knife industry, what started out as a hobby, has turned into a side business, with more customers than I can handle. I am a part time maker, my full time employment is as a Fire Fighter/ EMT-basic/ FEO, with the St Paul Fire Department, in St Paul Minnesota.
