Cut from a sawmill blade.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrandon Williams made these for us. The Mini Apache runs a modified spear point, a near symmetrical tip geometry that concentrates strength at the point and gives the knife real piercing ability alongside a clean primary edge. At 3.1\" of blade and roughly 6.25\" overall, it is the most compact knife in his lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis run is cut from a reclaimed sawmill blade rather than 1095, and it holds an edge better than most high carbon steel. Convex grind, full tang. Each knife ships with a Kydex sheath set up for scout carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote from Lone Star Knife \u0026amp; Supply: These are one offs.

The steel that goes into them is selected for toughness and edge holding first, and the blades get thrown out when the teeth are gone rather than when the body of the steel is spent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrandon cuts knives out of that body. It is steel that was already proven in a job harder than anything a belt knife will see, and in his hands it holds an edge better than most high carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandle Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack G10, moisture resistant and impact tough, the version that disappears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack and Orange G10, the same material with a layer of orange, so a dropped knife is a found knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Mini Apache Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.1\" blade cut from a reclaimed sawmill blade, modified spear point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds an edge better than most high carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong tip geometry for precise and penetrating cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvex grind, full tang construction throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoughly 6.25\" overall, the most carry discreet knife 4B makes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKydex sheath set up for scout carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade by a Forged in Fire Champion, built for Lone Star Knife and Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: 4B Outdoors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Mini Apache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 3.1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: Roughly 6.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: Reclaimed sawmill blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Style: Modified spear point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Grind: Convex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Black G10 or Black and Orange G10, see variant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath: Kydex, scout carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScout Carry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheath is set up for scout carry, which means horizontal across the small of the back or at the front of the belt rather than vertical on the hip. On a knife this short that is the setup that makes sense, because it sits under a shirt and does not catch a truck seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Note on Carbon Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a carbon steel, not stainless. After use, wipe the blade clean and dry. For storage, apply a thin coat of blade wax or camellia oil to the flat of the blade. Renaissance Wax and purpose made blade wax both work well. Thirty seconds of maintenance keeps it performing for years. In humid conditions without care, surface rust will develop. The steel is worth the habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout 4B Outdoors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4B Outdoors is the brand of knifemaker Brandon Williams, a Forged in Fire Champion from Season 5, Episode 35 of the History Channel series.
