Originally, these forged integral blades were designed as a low entry cost paring knife i could make affordably for customers, however they have since evolved into something more. After having customers request sheathes with these, many use them as lightweight camp knives, no-fuss hunting knives, and others use them for everyday carry purposes. So, despite my initial effort, when people ask “what is it for?” i now say “its up to you”
Unlike the other blade styles I offer these knives were forged with a history of their own. the 1080 steel that these are forged from was salvaged from decommissioned railroad track used in Nederland Colorado, Gifted to me By Blacksmith and Wildland Firefighter Emmit Hoyl. The rounded and satin polished choil and spine offer surprising comfort from a small profile blade. The finger choil and tapered handle make for a firm purchase of the handle, great for keeping a good grip on the knife in wet conditions.
The blades are all forged to shape, and come with a hot formed kydex sheathe and belt/pocket clip, making it easy to toss in a knife bag or backpack.
Since this is a handmade product, there are slight variations in regards to shape and size, but the rough general dimensions are as follows:
Total length: 210mm (8.25 in)
Blade length 90 mm (3.5 in)
Blade thickness at heel: 3mm (.150 in)
handle thickness at choil 4.2 mm (.165)
