If you appreciate heritage-inspired knives—folders that look like they belong in the tradition of everyday working tools—this model hits the mark.
Faux sawed bone handle: vintage character with comfortable carry
The faux sawed bone handle provides a distinctive, textured look that recalls traditional bone-handled knives, while offering a comfortable grip for daily use. The brown tone gives it a warm, classic appearance, and the overall design complements the polished bolsters for a refined finish. It’s a great option for people who want an EDC knife with personality—something that feels like a classic pocket companion rather than just another modern tool.
Lanyard hole for added carry options
A built-in lanyard hole adds extra flexibility to your carry setup. Attach a lanyard for easier retrieval from the pocket, add a pull tab, or customize with paracord for a personal touch. It’s a small feature that makes a big difference for users who like a knife that adapts to their preferences—especially with a compact folder where quick access matters.
