Custom Tibia Slimline Short Fixed Blade, Acid Wash
Skelton Bladeworks
The Tibia is a pocket-sized Wharncliffe fixed blade with an attitude. The idea behind this design was to create an EDC sized knife but still have a massive looking blade. The solution was to make the handle as short as reasonably possible, adding a lot of contouring so that it remained secure in the hand. The Slimline Shorty is a slimmer profile Tibia model with a more slender blade profile for an easier carrying tool.
This knife measures 7.25" overall with a 3.75" blade that can fit in your pocket, or in a small, unobtrusive sheath on your belt. Jim Skelton chose to keep the edge a bit thicker than on his Occipital model for additional strength. While a knife this size is not a chopper, it can handle light chopping tasks with ease and is great for food prep. This model features a contoured carbon fiber handle, dark acid washed CPM-3V blade, and a molded Kydex sheath with horizontal carry strap. It has excellent build quality on a unique design that is unlike anything else we've seen before and it was handmade in the USA.
