POHL>)Force SAR Hornet XL FINAL edition going fast!!
POHL>)Force /SAR Hornet XL the final addition. Here is the description from Pohl Force.
"The Hornet XL was our very FIRST knife; this is where the Pohl Force story began. The characteristic Spencer A. Reiter design matches perfectly with the significant name, well known within the knife world. The name for this knife may seem unusual as it was only later that we began to name our models after the NATO alphabet."
I am always humbled by the knowledge that Dietmar chose this design out 100's if not thousands of knife makers and design's he knew at the time. I swell with huge pride knowing that POHL Force is a rock solid and highly successful international knife company and continuing to expand.
When we started this project Dietmar promised a knife from every run we did almost every knife he sent is the serial number #001 and I also have the pre-production proto-type. Also laying there is the very first Hornet XL that I built. Currently I am waiting for both versions of the final edition and the set will be finished and maybe I can get some exposure for us in one of the top knife mags. I am however sad that the run is over but I can always hope and strive to work with my friend again.
Dietmar is meticulous, kind and a man of honor. To anyone that may get the opportunity to work with him I would tell you that it could possibly be the most enjoyable, hassle free and highly successful collaboration you could enter into.
So with that being said THIS IS THE LAST RUN. One of my buddies has received his Final Edition Hornet XL, I got to look at it yesterday. I know this is biases and you can take it for what it worth. I do know what quality looks like in a knife and he has gone above and beyond what you will might expect in a production knife at this price. From steel to zippered pouch no corners have been cut.
If you are here in the states you can follow this link directly to his POHL>)Force U.S.A. division which is the exclusive distributor for PF products.

Momentary Dyas
For some unknown reason I have built these knives and they form what the Spartans call a Dyas (Duo). Although they were paired in conception they will follow two different yet parallel paths to Afghanistan!
So two post in one day I must be sick...ha ha
The recurve is already in the hands of a young 2LT scout platoon leader on his way to well you know where. He lives down the street and found out I build knives and asked me to build him one. I find no greater honor than doing exactly that.
This is based on the S/E (Survive/Escape) design minus the leg rig, signal device and firestarter.
Specs:
CPMS30V HRc 60-61
10" OAL 5" handle 5" hollow ground blade.
Hand finished coyote brown fine texture handle with steel fastners.
Kydex sheath x 2.
Thanks

Been waiting to do a big update
Ha ha,
I kept telling myself that I would re-start the blog with a big update, but that just leads to more procrastination. So I am just gonna dive in need not explain where I have been the last year as its not important. Currently kicking ass in the shop on a daily basis is what matters!
I have a really good friend and business partner John Hurth of TYR' Group LLC. John is always "switched on" and ready to go. We recently finished up a project that was both fun and has proven a successful endeavor.
Last year John asked me to build a Mjolnir so I instantly went to google figured out what it was and got to designing. After a few drawings we decided on the follow one for the first custom run. Here is Johns description off the his website.
"
The first run was made in 440c each one is 100% hand made and each one is uniquely different. We ended up with around 30 for sale and they have been moving fast. I have some pictures from the build and will provide a link to the Mjolnir for purchase on Johns site. We have already started to develop the next run and have decided to keep exploring new designs until we hit it out of the park!

"
The TÝR Group Mjölnir is a collaboration project
between TYR Group LLC and SAR Global Tool. All Mjölnirs are individually hand
crafted, and not one is the same.
Mjölnir (/ˈmjɒlnɪər/ or /ˈmjɒlnər/ MYOL-n(ee)r); means "crusher". In Norse mythology, Mjölnir is the hammer
of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Distinctively shaped, Mjölnir is depicted in
Norse mythology as one of the most fearsome weapons, capable of leveling
mountains.
The TÝR arrow was the symbol of the warrior and was
inscribed on warriors weapons to bring them strength, protection and victory in
battle. The symbol also represented the values held by choosing the warrior
path such as duty, honor, integrity, discipline, responsibility, and
self-sacrifice."The first run was made in 440c each one is 100% hand made and each one is uniquely different. We ended up with around 30 for sale and they have been moving fast.

John is wearing a very special Mjolnir made in Chad Nichols stainless steel Damascus. It is one of kind just like my Ranger buddy John!

So get some while you can.
Other things are happening as well and I will go into them at a later date. I have been doing some more R&D on one of the "Last Ditch Designs". I have a few more things I want to explore to ensure everything is going to work out well for both the end user and me the builder. So I will just put some pictures up so you can see the design but I will omit any description at this time.
Also for now the last Inglorious Basterd has been sold, I will be building these when time permits and I feel the urge....I am not taking orders on this design.
Specs:
14" OAL 8" blade with false edge
CPM-154
GCM with CF palm swell
Kydex and leather rigs
textured and tumbled

Okay that"s it for now and as usual I always have the SAR SESS signal gear in stock and I am currently working on the knife page to get some stock in and posted up. If you have any questions feel free to call the shop or send a email to sarglobaltool@gmail.com
Thanks
