How Master Custom Knifesmith Kirk Rexroat Designed the WrightKnife

We recently asked Kirk Rexroat, what inspired him to design the blade on the Triple Eight Professional WrightKnife and this is what he said:

Here in Wyoming a knife isn't a weapon but an indispensable tool. No matter what the task, whether I'm hunting, fishing, working with livestock, or at the coal mine (Kirk works in one of the largest coal mines in the world keeping their equipment running - wk), I've found the drop point blade shape to be the most functionally diverse. With this in mind, I designed the Wrightknife just for those myriad of tasks each day where a knife comes in mighty handy. Weighing only two ounces it can be tucked into your pocket or clipped to the inside of a purse to be there when you need it. The Triple Eight Professional WrightKnife makes it easier to live by that old rule of thumb to always have a knife in your pocket.
