This Flat Dark Earth PVD finished Professional Soldier from Chris Reeve Knives is a collaboration with designer Bill Harsey. It was created at the request of the owners of professionalsoldiers.com, a discussion forum for active duty and retired Special Forces soldiers. Chris Reeve is proud to continue the tradition of honoring the elite military and in the Professional Soldier knife they offer a discreet, no-nonsense tool. The central cutaway reduces weight and doubles as a shackle wrench, accommodating up to a 5/8th inch shackle. The frame style knife fits snugly into a slim Kydex sheath so it is readily accessible, whether tucked into a cargo pocket or attached to a MOLLE vest. A 36 inch nylon lanyard is threaded through holes in the handle and tied in such a way that the sound of the knife being laid on a hard surface will be muffled.
