Ladder pattern and Turkish walnut.

[Cody Hofsommer]

Here is what I call a "Wrangler". I have been carrying one as an EDC for about two years. In a horizontal sheath they disappear until you need it. Either hand has access, either hand can put it away.

This one is CruForgeV and 15n20 in a ladder pattern with a great piece of stabilized Turkish walnut and 416 guard and domed pin. It's 7" overall and blade is 3.125" long and .140 thick at the ricasso. 61 Rc. The sheath is pig lined 8-10oz W&C with a little tooling. This one has great retention and a little snap into it home position.

These are a three finger knife, but my little finger has purchase on the "fawns foot" these are small enough to carry, yet would make a fine hunter if you like a small knife.





The close up of the sheath is the back side, and since I hand stitch, this is by far the worse of the two sides.

These little fixed-blade EDCs are really gaining popularity and no wonder with fine examples such as this.

A great looking little knife. Even though compact a very ergonomic design, excellent materials choice and a really nice little sheath.
What's not to like. I've always thought that Cody has one of the most well designed maker's marks out there.

Great little hunter Cody.

 

[Cody Hofsommer]

Thanks everyone. These little guys are my best sellers by far.

Kevin covered my thoughts better than I likely would have expressed them. Well done. And I have a real soft spot for good European walnut.

 

[M.K.]

Too attractive knife. I like it.

I'm very impressed with the knife and sheath. Both are very well done. Fit/finish very nice, well executed ladder pattern and beautiful walnut.

A really nice little EDC design. One of the things I particularly like about the "Wrangler" design is the way it fits the hand. Obviously, the handle on a 6" or 7" OAL EDC isn't going to be but so long, however what's different about the Wrangler as opposed to most small EDCs is the handle girth is about the same as you would find on many full size Hunters. This captures the essence of what a fixed EDC should be IMO; compact and easy to carry comfortably but with the feel and functionality of a larger knife.

Great value and really cool packaging as well.
