Inspired by long days on the trail, this elusive everyday carry disappears into the hand and rides easy on a belt, in a pack, or in the truck. It’s just as at home by the fire as it is on the move. The laminated blade is forged from my own san mai—stainless cladding over an 80CrV2 carbon steel core—combining toughness with easy maintenance. A tapered full tang keeps the knife balanced and alive in the hand.

A custom Upland Leather sheath is available for an additional $100, with up to five additional weeks for production. Click here for sheath.
