Notes: -

The Rocky Mountain Spike is the result of several months of testing and fine-tuning in the field. The original design was to flank or add a large knife, such as a TOPS Machete or Power Eagle, to offer the user a variety of other applications on smaller projects. The size and steel mass of large knives certainly have their place. However, every once in a while a situation arises where one wishes to have a smaller knife, and particularly one with a narrow blade.

After using and abusing the prototypes in the field, those who have tested the small Rocky Mountain have seen a wide variety of cutting, scraping, splitting, EDC, and separating tasks for which this tool can be used effectively.

We now believe that the Rocky Mountain Spike is an excellent stand-alone toolfor hikers, bikers, campers, boaters, weekend outdoor enthusiasts, and long trips. It can be worn on your belt or kept in your backpack, boot or any other convenient place. Whether it is for general outdoor activities, at work or at home, this is the tool for you.

Winner in 2016 at the Blade Show in Atlanta as "Overall Knife of the Year"

Metamorphosis handle: it is an aluminum handle with a special heat-sensitive coating. Normally the handle is black, but when the temperature reaches 22-23 ° C, it changes color! If you hold the knife in your hand for a couple of minutes, the black handle will become Camouflage.

Given the production difficulty of the handle and the extreme delicacy of the same, the production of this variant ceased definitively in 2017. The first production was characterized by the presence of the clip, the second production proposed a knife without a clip, but accompanied by a sheath a leather.
