Well it my pleasure to announce production models of the "Remy Presas Legacy Knife" are now available!!
It has been almost a year now since Professor passed away, prior to his passing he and I pledged together to honor his Legacy with a Knife he Blessed as part of his continued Legacy to Modern Arnis!
At that time it was all I could do to get him to give it back to me once he had it in his hand,,, He kept squeezing it tightly and calling it the "Doblata", Roland Dantes joined in and called the "Baliktaran".
It has been decided to call it the "Presas Legacy", and it is a hot little player as far as edged steel.
I had a hard time finding the right maker for the project, a couple makers wanted to make thousands of models and run it like a medium grade production model. I had a problem with that thought process from the beginning and declined the deals set forth.
Thru Mike Fuller owner of Tactical Ops. Knives (TOPS) a maker was found, his name is
Norm Schenk owner of "Two Finger Knife Co. and HELL FIRE FORGE". Norm is out of Idaho Falls, Idaho and has been involved in the knife industry for years. He has worked with Devin Thomas in the production of superior quality Damascus Making, Yes he makes the Damascus personally!!
Additionally Norm has worked directly with Gil Hibben over the years in technical designs.
Norm currently works full time manufacturing Custom Blades, Sword Blades, Bar stock, and Tomahawk Heads.
I personally handmade the Prototype in Damascus steel and wanted that type of quality, integrity, and collector value in the "Presas Legacy Knife" so I was excited to hook up with Norm!
Upon discussing the project, Norm was really excited to make the Custom Productions. He enjoyed the story of how Professor established such a dynamic impact in the Martial Arts World and thought the design was special from the moment he first handled it!
Professor felt that way as well!
Here is the break down, All "Presas Legacy" knives will be in Twist Damascus with Brown Maple Burl Handles. The sheath is Brown Oiled Leather with heavy duty stiching, the sheath has "PRESAS" engraved on the front!
Each knife and sheath will be serial numbered starting with 001 and running up to 100. At that time the Damascus and Handle material will be changed and the serial numbers will continue with 101 up to 200. Every time the knife run hits 100 in the series suttle changes with be made. This makes every knife unique and collectable. I am happy to say in the last couple weeks over 30 knives have been ordered.
Look around at the price of a quality Damascus Knife and you will be amazed the the "Presas Legacy" is currently only $275.00 each with the Sheath and a Certificate of Authenticity! This deal can not be beat, but that is not as important as the fact that this is the Knife the Professor Blessed as his Legacy to MODERN ARNIS!! You can order directly by calling 253-564-2867!
Steel will out live us all!!
