Comments: Featured in the 2003 movie, “The HUNTED.” This newer release design (designated by the prefix “H” before the serial #) indicates that it’s not only an exact copy of the movie knife, but also comes with the much-improved selective heat treatment, which offers much better performance & strength than the older ones. Dave Beck no longer offers the options of Vintage Linen Ivory Micarta or blued blades. WSK Serial Number H 025. Scout Serial Number 122. This set features a tandem combination sheath for both knives. Also included is a single leather sheath for the WSK (Wilderness Survival Knife.)

Below is the key to the WSK Design Details photo:
(A) Draw Knife Edge: The sharpest, & most delicate edge for general carving, shaping & scraping. Originally hollow ground, but later changed to a flat-grind (shown) to provide greater edge support.
(B) 1/4-Round: Used as a gut hook & for carving/scraping trap parts & arrow shafts.
(C) Hatchet: Flat-ground for chopping, scraping & the only edge that should be used when splitting woods. Correctly angled so the strongest part of the blade forward of the 1/4-round” delivers the impact for greater edge safety & penetration.
(D) Saw Teeth: “Swiss Army” type staggered tooth design is self-cleaning & aggressive cutting on both the pull & push stroke. Used for cutting square notches, or tilt at a 45 degree angle to cut “V” grooves (both used for traps & snares). The downward angle enables sawing square & “V” grooves on flat surfaces & stakes for trip & snare wire channels.
(E) Spine Recess: Specifically designed as a striking point when splitting woods & for push-carving. The curved surface enables the blade to be rocked or tilted at any angle & still receive direct energy into the material being worked. Recess edges are lightly de-burred to avoid thumb abrasion while carving but can be requested with sharp edges if needed for scraping tasks.
