Praetorian Guards were elite men chosen from the Legions of Rome to serve as personal protectors of the Emperor. The MKT Praetorian is just such a knife. This awesome design is topped only by the strength of the materials from which it's made. .270 inch blade thickness, .187 inch thick solid Titanium frames and .250 inch pivots and hardware make this a knife like no other. Beautiful form and function, unsurpassed reliability and 2000 years from now archeologists will be amazed by the hand tools we once crafted.
