Comments: At this point it’s pretty much a given that knife maker Steve Johnson makes the finest traditional stock-removal custom knives on the planet. And this model is one of Steve’s finest, a Classic Sub-hilt Fighter, complete with all stainless fittings, lugged guard and a proper leather sheath.
The scales are outstanding presentation grade Fossil Mammoth, and the grind, fit and finish are just what you would expect from the best – simply flawless! No serious collection of modern traditional fixed-blade custom knives is complete without at least one Steve Johnson.
This particular Sub-hilt has been turned into something really special by Master engraver Brian Hochstrat. The engraving is deeply cut and superbly three-dimensional with gold highlights in the background. This is simply one of the finest engraved Steve Johnson knives we’ve ever handled!
