Description

Designed By Dusty Rhodes

At Blade Show Texas, I found myself enamoured with some of the oversized knives around, especially the Titanium framelocks.  That just put the idea in my head to try designing one for myself.  Something big and beefy, but still maintaining the huge blade in a small handle design spin I like to give my knives.  Once the overall profile was set, I thought it looked a bit like a turtle, thus the name: Tortoise.
