The design was prompted by Guy Rafaeli. He's Israeli military and trains special Israeli units in Martial Blade craft. He wasn't satisfied with anything avilable on the market and created this design which is based on the original Echanis design.
It's actually quite different from the original design, smaller, dfferent type of teeth, scales on a full skeltonized tang, screwed on scales, etc.
Many modifications to the design and many protoypes were made and went back and forth to Israel. The refinements added to the length of develoment time.
Guy wanted H1 material because the jumpers often drop into water. He also wanted a thicker H1 material than was originally possible, so further steel development was dones as well.
Since this is created for the proifessinal soldier and really does not have a non military market. We want to to know how you want to carry it.
