 A GROUP 5 KNIFE by SURVIVAL KNIFE & COMBAT KNIFE FIGHTER DESIGNER & MAKER NEWT LIVESAY

This is one of the best all around knives that I have designed in a VERY LONG time.  It has been on the drawing board as a project design since 2000.  Adapting our WASP Survival Tool handle design, and utilizing superior heat treated 1095 HC tool steel to make a high performance nine inch blade.  This is truly a fantastic knife that will cut better than most of the big boys.  Whether you are processing Water Buffalo, Caimans, Squirrels, Rats, or vegetables this is a very versatile blade.    This knife will be at home in the field or in your kitchen.  Field test on one of our test knives showed it to have cut over 200 marijuana plants and still held a usable edge ~ we were elated. 

No secret steels ~ No fancy engraved logos ~ No half hearted heat treats ~ Same name & same quality since 1986
No Bravo Sierra, just facts. 
 
The new Davida knife has been field tested by professionals in Colombia ~ Panama ~ Peru ~ Ecuador ~ Mexico ~ Philippines' ~ the United States 
THIS KNIFE HAS BEEN IN THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES FOR JUST OVER 18 MONTHS
TEST RESULTS WERE FROM REAL WORLD USERS

 If you want an over hyped, over priced commercial blade go some where else .  So do you want a minimum wage guy with a nose ring and tattoos on the side of his head dumping blades into a "basket batch" of commercial heat treated knives?  Hell you would be better off to buy a China made blade, 90% of them have better heat treats than those made by these so called experts knife designer whose only claim to fame is Bravo Sierra hype & ripping off legitimate makers.
