The Arashigoto Mako


Scott was commissioned to make this knife for a law enforcement officer/knife tactical instructor. Arashigoto is Japanese for "hard work", and this knife was designed specifically to withstand the beating a police officer can deliver in a day or night's work. It is a Tanto style tactical and looks like a mako shark - hence the two names.

This Arashigoto Mako was hewn out of 01 tool steel, has black linen micarta scales and a black Kydex sheath with Tek-Loc clip. It can be carried upright, inverted or horizontal (left or right).


The knife weighs 7.5 ounces, is 8 1/2 inches in total length and the blade is 3 3/4 inches long. I did not taper the tang on this one to give it extra heft for a butt strike, and I filed 20-line per inch checkering in 3 areas on the knife (two on the back, and one underneath) so that it grabs the hand and doesn't let go. The sheath/knife fit is very positive on the Arashigoto Mako as well, to prevent the knife from accidentally breaking loose when worn inverted position.

Spearpoint Runt with Bone Handle


Here's Scott's latest knife. He took the GHF Javelina and sized it down a bit, then made a mini version of it along with a drop point and wharncliff version at the same smaller size (7 inches long). This spearpoint Runt was just completed and the drop point and wharncliff versions are in the works.


Scott went with red bone handles and a leather sheath for this version of the spearpoint Runt, but the knife can be made with micarta handles and a kydex sheath at a lower pricepoint. Note that this Runt has a Japanese style hamon - wavy line on the blade is done by coating the back of the blade in clay during the hardening process. The drop point and wharncliff versions will be hardened by this same method.


Bone handled Runt with leather sheath $200 (includes USPS shipping anywhere in the continental US) SOLD!

Runt with micarta handles and Kydex sheath $150 (includes USPS shipping anywhere in the continental US) Taking orders now!
