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.

Sandvik 12C27 Stainless

This is one of two stainless Drifters in the batch. Sandvik 12C27 is a fine grained stainless that sharpens easily and holds up in wet conditions without the upkeep a carbon blade asks for. It is a good pick for a knife that lives in a pack or a tackle box.

The Combination Handle

This is the fanciest handle in the batch. It combines three color burlap micarta with green micarta in one scale, so the coarse burlap texture and the green run together rather than sitting in separate blocks. How the colors surface depends entirely on how this specific handle was ground, which means the pattern here does not exist on any other knife.

Leather Sheath

This one carries in a leather sheath, which breaks in to the knife over time and softens with use.

About Shady Grady EDC

Why This One Stands Out

Stainless steel and the most involved handle work in the batch. If you want a Drifter you can use hard and still look at, this is it.
