Every Drifter comes with a small batch tin of Grady's blade wax.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Drifter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: Approximately 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: Approximately 8.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: Sandvik 12C27 stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Combination three color burlap micarta and green micarta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrip: Full four finger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath: Leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Small batch blade wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Grady Jarman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA (Wilmington, North Carolina)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: SG-DRIFTER-12C27-BURLAPGRN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade One at a Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSandvik 12C27 Stainless\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Combination Handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLeather Sheath\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one carries in a leather sheath, which breaks in to the knife over time and softens with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Shady Grady EDC\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrady Jarman is a retired professional firefighter who makes knives and turns pens part time in Wilmington, North Carolina.
