Overview

This Kris one-off is Joe's take on the popular, Kris style blades blade. The upswept Kris blade features numerous curves and has been sharpened on both sides for twice the cutting power. Geared more towards slashing and prodding the Kris blade profiles leaves nasty wound channels and can be devastating when employed effectively. Joe's interpretation of this design is a very practical tool for EDC as well as defensive applications in either the forward or reverse grip. The handle has a fine cord wrapping that has then been wrapped around rayskin base and copper jester menuki, with resin cured nylon. The result is extremely 'grippy' and get remains easy to carry without being overly abrasive on your clothing and skin. Included is a molded ambi Tracker Dan kydex sheath with an integrated IWB clip.

The Blade: Hand ground Kris blade profile with a sharpened top edge and given a satin finish.

The Handle: Tsuka wrapped rayskin handle w/brass menuki.

The Sheath: Ambidextrous Tracker Dan Kydex sheath with integrated IWB clip.

About Joe Watson: Joe Watson is like the stealth Bomber of the knife making world (back when it was classified).

About the Maker

Watson, Joe
Watson, Joe

The overall mission is to offer a variety of high performance, handmade knives from kitchen to outdoors to self defense pieces. I do things the right way, one piece at a time. I am meticulous in my material selection, heat treating and effort in the details to offer people the best knives I can. As someone who enjoys the craft of knifemaking and has a lot of interests, I make knives for a wide variety of uses. Generally these are broken down into two simple categories: -Field Grade: Everyday working knives made to perform with good geometry, heat treat and materials suited more towards ease of maintenance and durability. CPM154 is the most common steel used as it is the best all-around steel for most situations. Sometimes, steels like CPM3V or PSF27 will be offered as well. A stonewash finish is the most common finish I offer on Field Grade pieces. -Signature Grade: My opportunity to explore and deliver a higher level of old world craftsmanship. The performance, high quality heat treat as the working knives, but with more premium features, more striking cosmetics and the use of more rare materials. Finishes can vary, from painstakingly hand rubbed and polished metal, high gloss satin finishes and pattern acid etched finishes. Blades may be stainless, or carbon steel with visible hardening lines-commonly referred to as a hamon. Thicker stock will often come with a tapered tang. You will also see hand sanded handles made from exotic woods, vintage phenolic materials, and other specifically selected accouterments.
