Military Style Fighting Knives
This gallery shows a few different versions of the Military Style Fighter. Different handle materials, blade lengths and even
handle dressings can change the way that the knife looks and feels. Contact Rocket Knives for prices or information
about different blade steels and handle materials. Descriptions are with the picture of each knife.
Above reveals a really big knife. Exactly the thought
that comes to mind when the phrase "heavy fighter" is said. This knife has a 9"
blade made from 1/4" thick 440c stainless steel. The guard and butt bolsters are from 416 stainless. Handle scales are white linen
micarta. Price for a similar piece is USD$850. "Sitting Bull" scrimshaw is not included. See the scrimshaw section for more details about Scrimshaw By Mary.
Below shows a fairly mainstream, in the terms of size, for a military style fighter. This one has an 8" blade made
from 1/4" thick 440c stainless steel with a fileworked spine. A hefty piece for sure. This one also has the 416 guard for easy care
and durability and the handle material is desert ironwood. The ironwood handle is set in place with 2 mosaic handle pins and 304
stainless steel lined lanyard hole. Price for a similar piece is USD$700. All Military Style Fighters are furnished with a custom fitted, hand stitched leather sheath.

Below shows a smaller version of the military style fighter. This "handy" little fighter has a 6" blade made from
3/16" thick ATS34 stainless steel and is decorated with filework on its' spine. This knife is much lighter in weight than its' bigger
brothers above. The guard is 416 stainless, as are the handle pins and the lining for the lanyard hole. The handle is black carbon fiber
with a red vulcanized paper spacer for a little extra color. Price for a 6" military fighter with a carbon fiber handle is USD$450.
