Made One at a Time

These are hand made, so the numbers run close rather than exact. Figure on about a 4 inch blade at roughly 8.5 inches overall, with a handle that gives you a full four finger grip. Grady does the grinding, the handle work, and the finishing himself, which is why no two come out identical.

O1 Tool Steel

O1 is a carbon tool steel that takes a keen edge and comes back sharp with very little effort on a stone. It is not stainless, so it will patina with use and wants to be kept dry and waxed. The darkened stonewash finish adds some protection and hides the marks that come with using a knife, and the wax tin in the box is there for exactly that job.

Orange and Yellow G10

This is the high visibility build. Orange and yellow layered G10 is what you want on a knife you might set down in leaves or grass, and it is the same logic behind blaze orange on hunting gear.

Honeycomb Kydex Sheath

The sheath on this one is honeycomb pattern Kydex rather than plain. It holds the knife with a positive click, sheds water, and the pattern gives it a look that matches the handle.

Why This One Stands Out

Bright handle, patterned sheath, carbon steel blade. This is the one that will not get lost in the field, and it is the only honeycomb sheath in the batch.
