A pair of insect-like wings that allow for flight. These wings are powerful enough to carry up to 300 pounds. In addition to the wings, Gray Hornet carries a “Stinger” Dagger, the blade is 3/8″ thick, 6 7/8” cast stainless steel with a black oxide coating and satin finish highlights. The handle scales are securely attached to the full tang with heavy-duty screws. The 11 5/8” fixed blade knife slides securely into an injection molded Vortec and nylon belt sheath, which has a snap closure strap, it sits on his upper leg so the hilt of his dagger is at hand height when his hands are by his sides ready for a quick draw. A leg strap keeps the dagger in place as Gray Hornet runs.
