    S-T-S-5 Gallery 2010

    Hey Folks,

    Here is the New S-T-S-5.

    Click to Enlarge


    The S-T-S-5 is a New design that we developed at the specific request by members of the U.S. Marine Corps Force Recon.

    The Face and nature of Warfare in the last 10 years has changed. With encounters becoming Face to Face and chest to Chest it has been time for some new Strategy and some new training of Elite Units.

    The use of a knife as a weapon had really been mostly phased out for all U.S. Armed Forces.

    Without going into Specifics on the Actual Training that has been adopted and is in use there is now a need for a knife that is compact while still having enough Blade to reach Vitals and stout enough to deliver enough energy to pierce to those vitals.

    The S-T-S-5 fits that need.

    Here is the Knife in My Hand.

    Note how Stout the knife is.

    Here is a Top View:

    Here is the View From the Bottom:

    Note that the handle slabs are Contoured and the Palm Swell is more forward than on a Bushcraft Knife or a Hunting Knife.

    All three of the last fingers of the hand curl behind the Swell and into a recessed contour of the slabs when holding the knife in Turse with Blade forward.

    When held in Blade Reverse Grip the Palm Swell is perfectly centered in the Palm.

    The underside of the knife's handle is "Self Righting" in the hand no matter how you pick it up.

    The Butt of the knife is Rounded but protrudes just enough to be used as a Yawara in toe to toe encounters to gain that split second advantage.

    Here is the S-T-S-5 in Reverse Grip with the Butt leading.

    As You can see this knife was not casually designed and will serve our Brothers and Sisters in Arms well.

    The Standard Sheath for the S-T-S-5 is Kydex. The Color of the sheath will match the blade.

    The Kydex sheath is supplied with the Same Belt Hanger that is supplied on the Bravo-1 Sheath.

    The Rivets in the sheath are also set for the Tec-Lok and for installing Molle Clips.

    Here is one of the sheaths with Molle Clips installed.

    Remember that the Molle Adapter Clips shown above are NOT included with our Sheaths.

    Here is an S-T-S-5 in it's sheath attached to Gear using a set of Molle Clips.

    Click to Enlarge


    All of the Handle Slabs on the [/b]S-T-S 5s[/b] are 100% interchangeable knife to knife.

    Each Set is CNC Machined on Both sides to fit the Blades and be Held with the Screw Sets

    Mike, that is a very nice effort indeed. Balance point just in front of the index finger, or at the finger?

    Are the top edges on these sharpened? If not, is there a way that we can get them that way if we reside in a state where it's legal?

    Here is the Drill on a sharpened Swedge Grind.

    You buy the one you want and then send it in to us and we will re-grind the swedge to sharp for you.

    You will not be able to sharpen it the way we ship it.

    It is too thick.

    ....and I have one! Wow! $200 price point...amazing deal for this quality and very impressive combat knife ...that's certain to pierce through those deep inner vitals in combat. It made for a great ice pick today!

    I'd suggest the leather sheath option...the kydex sheath didn't lock the knife in and the blade cut through it as well. I'm tossing it out and looking into a Spec-Ops MOLLE sheath. The length of knife and handle call for a tie down for enhanced support.

    My first "Orange" knife and 2nd Bark River.

    Full review coming....(Click under Showcase www.kniveswideopen.com)
