The Sonoran Desert spans nearly 100,000 square miles throughout parts of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. As someone who spendsas much time, if not more, off grid in this region than he does in areas with modern amenities, it is easyto saythat Dave knows what he is talking about and that this knife will perform well and accomplish justabout any task you need it to to get by in that type of environment. There are not a whole lot of things that Desert Dave can’t do so it is no surprise that he has added Knife Designer to the mix. Dave is a Primitive Skills Expert and is considered one of the country’s foremost educators in Stone Age living skills. The Sonoran is a working example of what his ideal blade would be. It has the looks of a traditional Puukko but with more of a trailing point than a straight back and a little more contour in the handle.
