This one is inspired by the late, great Paul Zinsmeister. It combines Paul’s handle, choil and tip aesthetics with my blade shape, grind and handle aesthetics. I used the M4 Green River as a base for this one, so it’s essentially a Green River variant. Very, very close to the same blade profile.

BE ADVISED: This particular one has a blemish on the guard front. I accidentally drilled the hole to close to the front of the guard which dimpled when I drove the pin in. See the pic. It doesn’t affect use at all and is fully warrantied. But it’s not perfect so I took that into account and knocked the price back $100.00. If this sort of thing bugs you (totally understandable) then you’ll want to pass on this knife.

Here’s the specs for ya:

5/32” 154cm stainless steel

Insured, Priority shipping in the US or to an APO is INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

Shipping outside the US is available. Once you click the "buy" button you will be charged a flat rate of $45.00. I will get an email with your address after you pay. (if it doesn't let you proceed just send me an email)

I will email you back with an invoice for the remainder of the shipping rate. You can decline if it's too expensive and I will put the item back up for sale and refund your money. Please know that shipping anywhere outside of North America is expensive. You can figure a minimum of $50.00 and a maximum of over $100.00.

If the item is shipped to the state of Missouri then 8.475% sales tax will be added after check out. I will invoice you the tax amount shortly after you purchase the item, I’ll pay the PayPal fees on it. Politicians need more of our money to waste, I reckon.

I use no jigs or helpers. My knives are not perfect by any means, if you’re looking for perfection then I urge you to choose another maker. I don’t want to run business away but I also want you to get what you expect. You must be 18 years of age or older to buy from Turley Knives.
