Pocket paring knives! I’ve been wanting to make these for a long time. I want one myself, maybe I’ll keep one, maybe not…
52100 carbon steel. Subtle convex geometry with a thin edge (don’t use these as prybars and screwdrivers…) Texturized G10 handles. Boltaron sheaths.
Steel: 52100 (carbon steel)
Handle: Black G10 with textured finish, stainless pins
Edge Length: 76mm (3.0”)
Overall Length: 178mm (7.0”)
Length with Sheath: 190mm (7.5”)
These have a slightly wider than usual width for parers, but for an EDC I wanted them a little wider. They also have closed heels, so they lean a bit more into the EDC side of things than a pure kitchen knife. I chose that design to function as a small finger guard and to have a feature for the sheaths to click onto. Keep that in mind for sharpening. The actual point where the heel starts is a touch forward from the plunge so it doesn’t completely impede on sharpening, but it’s still a closed heel. For pocket knives I personally much prefer a closed heel like this compared to something with a sharpening notch (my personal one I made eons ago has a sharpening notch and it catches on everything.)
For international orders, I will follow up through email with a separate shipping quote (depending on your location it can be anywhere from $100-$150, including insurance). If you are ordering from outside of the US and have questions, please inquire through email before placing the order.
