This knife from Crusader Forge is model TCFM 01.  It stands for "Too Close For A Missile, Switching To Knives™".  This is an extreme hard use utility fixed blade tactical knife.  Crusader Forge Custom Knives are designed for extreme and hard use.  All Crusader Forge knives are 100% custom handcrafted by master bladesmith and designer, Maciej Szczerbiak.  They are 100% made in U.S.A. from domestic steel and materials.  His blade material is Triple Tempered CPM S30V Stainless Steel with an HRC of 59-60.  Each Crusader Forge knife handle is custom fabricated.   They are custom textured to ensure positive hold, regardless of your grip configuration.  The handles are fastened to the knife using Stainless Steel Fasteners with Torx ™ T25 drive for maximum strength.  Each knife design is prototyped and function tested against various materials such as wood, rope, muscle, bone, sheet metal and anything else Maciej may have left in the shop that has reached the end of its useful life.  Edge holding characteristics, transverse toughness and cutting ability are all evaluated prior to finalizing a knife design.

This TCFM 01 features a hand sculpted Mil-Spec Black G10 handle, and a 0.25" thick CPM S30V blade.  The blade finish is done in Crusader Forge's "3D" stripe.  This is a beefy knife, with great feel, balance and grip.  It comes with two (2) black Kydex belt sheaths, both with Tek-Loks, one set for vertical carry and the other set for horizontal carry.  The knife is previously owned and in overall excellent condition.  There are some black scuffs and a couple of shiny spots on the blade from the Kydex sheath(s).  No box.  Includes a COA.
