My name is Mark Uker and this is the knife that started me into this hobby. My daughter was being deployed to Iraq and she wanted a knife to take with her. This is the knife that I made for her. It is made of 1095 High Carbon Steel, the teeth were cut and the blade was polished. The handle was wrapped with 550 Para Cord. With the material I had left over I made a little skinning knife called the Rogue.
