These are a little bit of old school meets new school.


While they're very simple, there's a reason for everything. The steel is left very hard (61 C) and ground to a VERY thin edge, the steel has a forced patina for protection/lower maintenance (I think it looks neat, but that's not the reason for doing it), and the scales are very thin synthetics. They can roll around the hand into just about any position and be comfortable... no sharp edges, except for the edges. ;) :)


I know they're not for everyone, but they are a purpose driven style (slides easily into a side pocket, back-pack, etc.). :)

The patina goes all the way around the knives- :)

This one is a bit different... it's a gift for a good friend. It's an all steel version, forged from wood-grain damascus :)

I believe these will be good sellers. I prefer a small fixed-blade for EDC, especially with a pocket style sheath.

I prefer a small fixed blade for edc as well.

I very much enjoy it when makers take care of the guys who do. These are great little packages.
 
Superb 'pocket knives' buddy....I bet they'd cut like a laser! :)
 
Great knives Nick. They look super handy and I like the thought behind them with the thinness and the hardness.
 
Sweet. 3" fixed blades are my bread and butter. Nice to see some EDC's with a fancy name on 'em! :)
 
Great and Awesome, I can't think of which word I like more. I think you hit it on the head. I have been trying to figure out what kind of fixed blade I would want to carry... You nailed it.
 
I really like these especially the damascus steel version. That is a very beautiful and practical piece of pocket equipment. Mason Leeth made a couple of similar ones for me out of white paper #1 and super blue and because they are so flat but rounded and ergonomic they are among my favorite edc's. Your knives look like they would be excellent in that capacity. Very,very nice!
 
Those are super nice edc/utility knives. Great blade shapes and while simple, still show your attention to detail. That patina looks good too. I like these a lot.
 
Too cool, Nick! "Pocket" fixed blades are extremely underrated - I have one that I use all the time, and love it (Fitzo made it for me, even!!!!). The guys that get these from you will understand, I'll bet.

CLEAN sheath work too. Great packages all around. Nice!
 
Handy as socks on a rooster, Nick;):thumbup:. I really like 'em. I EDC a similar knife. I like the pocket sheath too. BTW, what is your process on the patina?
 
Now that is something that will get used everyday :) Love seeing blades that are made to be used..
