One of a Kind. Some of the most sought after handmade fighting knives are those of Richard Batson, who worked part time making knives while serving in the Army from 1958 1970, mainly for active duty personnel. He continued making knives until roughly 2013, and is renowned for his craftsmanship and attention to detail. This example is the most outstanding Batson knife weve ever come across, and retains nearly all of its original bluing.
