Our latest addition to the McNasty series, the McNasty GL (Goldilocks) is not too small, not too big -- it's just right. Small enough to comfortably carry in the pocket, but with a larger (than the PK) grip and a larger 4.1 inch blade, the McNasty GL is for those who have medium to XL hands and want a bit more blade to get the job done. The McNasty dagger is ideal for thrusting techniques. The positive rear quillon makes for positive, indexed draw in either hammer or reverse grip.
The McNasty GL can be carried in the pocket in a Centerline DCC clip pocket sheath, and with the McNasty GL Multi-mode sheath, can be set up to carry mounted on molle, scout carry, IWB carry and "Samurai" style.
Batch 001 of the McNasty GL features a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating on the blade. DLC is the ultimate upgrade for a knife blade — a nanoscale layer of carbon atoms arranged with near-diamond hardness, bonded directly to the steel. It laughs at corrosion, shrugs off scratches, and reduces friction so dramatically that nothing wants to stick. Tough, sleek, and borderline space-age.
TRIBUTE
The McNASTY GL is named to honor James “McNasty” McNiece, a US Army paratrooper and leader of the “Filthy Thirteen,” a irregular but elite paratrooper unit which was instrumental in a number of vital combat missions during WWII.
The McNasty GL is produced in batches. For more on how our batches work, click here.
