I went to my old Tac-30 (SWAT) teams annual banquet dinner the other night and a member of the team had made knives with a Kydex scabbard, with engraving on them for people leaving the team. I liked the knife and asked him to make one for me. He does 'Black Dog Knives.' He is/was also a team member and KCSO Deputy.
He said "It will be made from ATS-34, with micarta scales and will include a custom Kydex sheath. " $100 Plus Tax & engraving ($25) depending on the number of letters.
He'll engrave the following on the knife as well as the SWAT Logo.
LT. My Name
TAC-30 Founding Member
1968-1984
The knives that I looked at did look good and had nice thick blade. Is that ATS-34 a good choice? The blade shape looked like a larger version of my PS knife.
