Built on an American hero’s legacy. It wasn’t until half a century after he served, that Forged by War® designer Austin McGlaun discovered his late uncle won the Silver Star at Point Du Hoc. To honor his service, he designed this colossal karambit fixed blade knife. With the help of Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, it’s been perfected as a mission-inspired eye catcher from the tip of the recurved blade to the thumb ring at the end of the handle. Austin McGlaun's charity of choice for this knife is the <a href=" https://purplehearthomesusa.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Purple Heart Homes</a>.
