The Poon is a discontinued Townsend model and the spiritual predecessor of the Mini MC. It shares the same harpoon blade philosophy: a defined point with an upswept tip geometry that makes the blade look aggressive and performs with precision. The Poon runs K390 blade steel, a powder metallurgy tool steel from Bohler known for exceptional wear resistance and edge retention at high hardness. It is the steel you choose when you want an edge that outlasts everything around it. TeroTuf handle scales, a textile-reinforced thermoplastic composite built for durability and grip in any condition. Titanium hardware. Leather sheath. ~2.5" blade, ~6.7" overall. Handmade by Townsend Knife Co. Made in the USA.
Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The TeroTuf Poon #4 is the hard-use version of this batch. TeroTuf is a composite that handles impact, moisture, and rough carry without complaint. K390 blade, titanium hardware, leather sheath. The discontinued model that started the Townsend lineage.
The Poon in TeroTuf is the discontinued Townsend model that started it all. K390 harpoon blade, titanium hardware, leather sheath. Piece #4. If you know the Townsend story, you know why this one matters.
About Townsend Knife Co.
Townsend Knife Co. is a small-batch knife operation run by a single maker. Every knife is CNC machined and then hand finished by the maker. The leather sheaths are handmade. The steels, handle materials, and configurations are chosen with intention, and the piece counts reflect that: most Townsend models are made in very small numbers and don't repeat in the same configuration twice.
