About This Piece
There’s something honest about a working drop point done right. No excess. No flash for the sake of attention. Just clean lines, solid materials, and craftsmanship that reveals itself the longer you look at it.
This handcrafted drop point features a high carbon steel blade with a partially hidden tang construction, giving the knife both strength and a refined balance in the hand. The satin finish pairs beautifully with the warm natural canvas Micarta handle, while black Micarta accents add contrast and depth without overpowering the piece.
A polished nickel guard and pommel frame the handle cleanly, giving the knife a classic field-knife profile with a custom maker’s touch. Along the spine, detailed hand file work adds character and texture — subtle from a distance, but impossible to miss once the blade is in hand.
Built as a functional everyday carry or compact hunting companion, this knife carries the feel of traditional craftsmanship with the durability expected from a hard-use tool.

Maker’s Note:
Some knives are made to impress in photographs. Others are made to earn trust over time. This one was built for the second purpose.
