I really like what this guy has to offer, however he's taking some time to focus on his well being so these are not in currently in production.

Anyone know of something very similar to this?



I managed to buy one of these just before covid and absolutely love it.

I’ve been looking for a Sinister for forever.

Yeah, I looked hard at that one and didn't pull the trigger. I'm a huge fan of the deep "punyo" which allows you to get your finger more contact when drawing from a pocket sheath.

Yes, I know AMTAC has some sordid history, and their knives are probably made for $50 and they charge $450, but the concept works well. Another option (again, at least Milmak states the country of manufacture), but the MilMak CCW-L is a pretty solid substitute.

Gypsy EDC makes excellent pocket sheaths.

We just need our good member @doubleplusgood to work up a few of his own examples.  

Flat design carries well. Deep punyo works best when raking out of a deep pocket sheath. Something nice sounding like the @doubleplusgood "Benevolent"

I knew you had something along those lines! Thanks! For pocket carry (front-support side pocket), carry is comfortable and as long as you have enough of the handle protrusion (a deeper punyo helps) to index with your finger, it's a very fast and secure presentation. My preference is the reverse grip, so it's a natural carry and draw location. I think there's going to be a Kestral headed my way in the near future!
