The RESOLUTE® MkIII

A Rare opportunity to acquire a limited edition knife, Number 212 from the legendary Aaron Gough, the Toronto Knifemaker.

The Resolute® MkIII camping / trail / survival knife was designed to be a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ knife for the outdoorsman. This knife will carve wood, prepare food, butcher game, and split firewood with ease.

The Resolute MkIII blade starts as a blank of A2 tool steel, and then goes through dozens of CNC machining and hand-finishing operations to produce the final finished blade. The use of CNC milling allows me to achieve tight tolerances and exacting shapes that are simply not possible when working completely by hand.

The Resolute MkIII handle is carefully laminated together from different coloured G10 sheets using marine-grade epoxy, then CNC machined to the exact design that I want. CNC machining the handle scales allows me to replicate the subtle handle contours perfectly every single time which ensures grip comfort. The blade is coated with DLC, an ultra-tough and highly wear resistant coating that will stay looking great for a long time and help protect the blade from corrosion.

Aarons designs are in great demand as a custom knife maker. Check out his website for the full story. Each knife is individually engraved with a serial number and my makers mark when it is completed.

He says –  “I firmly believe in complete transparency and sharing my knowledge whenever possible. To that end I hold no ‘trade secrets’ and make detailed videos showing all the stages in making my knives. These videos let my customers see exactly how their knives are made, and show just how much work goes into the process and into each knife”

A beautiful example and a fine & rare collector’s item, Sold Out on his website.

A Pre-Owned knife: Part of a private collection and has remained boxed from new – no sign of use or sharpening to the blade.
