what is it with simple looking, expensive "defensive" knifes

[JohnO]

Don't know if you folks are aware but unfortunately Northman passed. Frank passed back in September from COVID complications. We are severely diminished!

The AMTAC Northman has a unique sheath design that lets me carry carry it like a folder. I remember @SouthNarc has a P'kal fixed blade made by someone in Germany with the same features. I tried for a while to buy one and could not. As soon as someone copies it for a bill I'll be selling my northman.

I believe this Frenchman's knifes are what you may be referring to:

• Craig's instagram
• Tony Lopes Blades, Skeleton

That is not it. It’s a copy of the spyderco folder but a fixed blade with pocket clip. I’ve handled it a EWO. Craig pointed me to the maker as Kyle Lambs rep in Germany. No response. You can see it sometimes in Craig’s gram. The recent Hawaii ewo had it in the table.

It is on the table to right of blue disciple trainer. Grayish sheath.

Huh, don't think I've seen that one. Though I do remember something similar in concept, a fixed blade disciple in a pocket clip set up made for pocket carry. I believe @JodyH had one.

Looks like a Spyderco Reverse, with cut down scales by Tom from @Dark Star Gear. Best guess.

ETA: scratch that; blue disciple trainer… I had the wrong blue trainer. Nevermind.

The form factor looks like something from Zulu Bravo, maybe a Sharpfinger?

I saw the same one in my EWO class and was intrigued. It is none of the ones mentioned, maker is in Germany per Craig but I have had no luck finding it since, although I seem to think I ran across it once earlier while surfing knife makers on the web.

Craig explained it was the guy who runs Viking Tactics for Kyle Lamb in Germany. His not responded. I think this could be a great product, but I'm running the AMTAC which fills the gap.
