Well shucks! This item is no longer available and we don't know when it will be back.

Here are some similar items that we hope float your boat:



The sleek partially serrated blade and the guthook tip give this knife a particularly nasty appearance. The TA2XLS knife bears a striking resemblance to a certain outer space horror movie creature, but it's called the Foundation. The ZR-Rated tire rubber handle has a cross-hatched texture for added security when using the blade.

The Foundation is made of heavy duty M-vX steel and is embossed with the Mantis logo. It has a bead blast finish and full tang construction for durability and longevity. It comes with a hard plastic sheath with attached clip for easy carry and access.
