We just released a new lanyard bead to go with our latest Whippersnapper model. The idea was to have something to symbolize the meaning behind what a whippersnapper is and so for inspiration we used the popular purple devil emoji: 😈 . For more photos of the end result, more details, and to purchase you […]

Whippersnapper Launched
Today we are launching our latest folding knife, the Whippersnapper. It’s a follow-up front-flipper to the Busker, also designed by Andrey Kolesnikov. This one will be available with American-made CPM 20CV steel from Crucible metals and feature our proven framelock DNA. The pocket clip has been updated to a full 3D design that offers easier […]

Exotic Damascus
One of the most sought-after exotic steels is Bertie Rietveld’s Damascus. Perfected over decades, his steel is unique and offered in very limited quantities. We scored some at Blade Show and used it for a matching set of knives pictured here. You’ll see that there are two different patterns, they are called “Dragonskin” and “Nebula”. […]
Stag Neck Knives
A few times a year we make a few of these neck knives. They are mini fixed blades in a number of different designs. Because there are so many potential styles (shapes) we don’t give them official model names. Each batch has 3-5 designs with each design being limited to about 8 pieces. We very […]
GunKote In-house
After working with an outside contractor for Gunkote application we decided to bring the process in-house. So far we are very happy with the results and can offer quicker turnaround time. We decided to use 2400 Series Gunkote (by KG Industries) after experimenting with a number of other coatings.
Mokume Damascus
Just in time for Blade Show we completed a few knives with a brand new steel. What you’re seeing is our proprietary in-house High Carbon Vanadium Damascus but with Mokume-style layers of copper and nickel. This is a new process for us that took months and months of trial and error to formulate. Just a […]
Blade Show 2019
We are in a new location this year: booth #607. It’s our first time having a booth instead of a table and when this spot became available we couldn’t say no. This year we are planning to officially release the new Rainmaker framelock as well as announce two other new models. If you are attending […]

Art Homage
We have recently added a brand new Hand Carved Series. It is called Art Homage and the idea here is to use hand carving to pay respect to famous art styles, images, painters, sculptors, and the like. The first such piece is a Busker pictured here. It is done in Art Nouveau style, paying homage […]
Wayfarer Compact
The Wayfarer Compact was our second folding knife model, a smaller version of the Wayfarer Classic. We built the first ones in 2015 and have been making it on and off and since. It was and still is a full custom (no CNC) liner lock, with a 3.5″ blade (8.25″ OAL). This model spawned our […]
