Thomas Krug, whose main job has been running the New Hope Tattoo parlor for many years, also uses his considerable drawing talent to design impressive knives, such as the Prime. And since Thomas is a practitioner, he also included a kydex sheath that comes equipped with an angle guided diamond sharpening stone. Anyone who is uncertain about the sharpening angle simply places the sheath on an uneven surface using the beveled opening, and thus obtains a sharpening angle of about 20° to the vertical. The Prime is a beefy outdoor and utility knife that pretty much handles any job with its almost 7 mm thick blade. The grip wrapping with parachord ensures a solid grip and permits convenient custom coloring and knot designs to one's own liking. 440C blade steel with glass bead-blasted surface.
