Bryan Breeden is a knife maker out of Nebraska. He spends much of his time in the woods cutting trees for a living and making knives when the weather is bad. While growing up Bryan spent his youth hunting, trapping and fishing. After talking with Bryan about knives and the outdoors I realized we shared a lot of the same views on what we use knives for. Being in the Marines Bryan was exposed to all aspects of survival and the importance of a knife. He is currently using 01 tool steel and orange G-10 scales. Welcome Breeden Knives and lets hope the weather stays bad at least in your neck of the woods!
PSKK II
Specs:
Steel-01
Blade Length-4"
Cutting Surface-3 7/8"
Overall-7 3/4"
RC-59-60
The PSKK II (Personal Survival Kit Knife) is very light making it perfect for backpacking and summit attempts. This is the bigger brother to the PSKK which has a 3" blade. If you ever wanted a thin lightweight full tang knife perfect for whittling and making trap notches then this is it. Combined with a chopper you can cover all the bases. Very handy size in between a neck knife and a small sheath knife. Imagine a Mora 510 meets CS Roach Belly and you got the PSKK II. This knife is a joy to use in the kitchen and in the woods.
This will be a work in progress as I am still doing tests and will be posting more pictures in the next day or two.
Bear you take great photos. That looks like a great little no BS knife. I think I could convince my wife that it would look good in the kitchen. Where can these be found?
I tell you what get her one in pink G-10 Bryan said he would do a small number of pink ones. I think the phone number and email is posted above. Bryan is a real nice guy he loves to talk shop.
Thanks Bear. I'm the first to admit I'm a box head. Yes the number is posted above. I just won't mention pink. My wife's favourite colour is black. Yet she doesn't think a Tralimaster or Recon Scout make good kitchen knives. Although, she and her sister found a Benchmade Skirmish quite useful when they were trying to cut some prosciutto at a dinner party and her sisters kitchen knife just couldn't 'cut it'.
Tac45 Funny you mention kitchen knife since the other knife (the larger) in the post was designed as a kitchen/outdoors knife. It is called the Pathfinder and it is the first knife that brian designed and made with his wife in mind. I will be doing a review on that soon but for now I say call Bryan have a chat and order one before his head gets too big.
