The Severance 10" Fixed Tanto Point, Elmax Blade / Black Micarta Handle

THIS IS THE SEVERANCE
LEGENDARY IN IT'S OWN TIME, UNSTOPPABLE IN THE RIGHT HANDS.
The Severance was already in the early stages of the design process when a Federal Drug Interdiction Team approached 3DK/Northern Knives. They requested a blade that would perform as a strong well balanced machete. The design had to be able to be abused for several hours a day, without failing, or overly fatiguing the user... Oh, and one more thing; also have the ability to chop through an aluminum helicopter fuselage with little or no damage to the blade. The design was finalized, the Severance produced, and serves today in Federal / State / Military environments. Now it is being produced for the open market.
 
The handle is designed with the "persuader" backend helping to counterbalance the users swing and minimize fatigue for a firm, competent purchase and for comfortable prolonged usage. The handle design also nearly eliminates the possibility of a fatigued hand moving up onto the cutting edge.
 
We think all this makes The Severance one of the toughest, longest lasting custom knives available anywhere.
Proudly made in Anchorage, Alaska.
