- Length: 7 inches (blade: 2.75″ / handle: 4.25″)

Priced at 250 USD (out of stock)
This knife is based on the well known Japanese utility blade, the kiridashi. The Sage Blades version is a sturdy, 1/4″ thick, all steel knife. It measures about 7 inches. The minimalistic handle and ring give excellent control and grip retention. The aggressive blade will retain it’s super sharp edge very well and performs great over a wide range of cutting tasks from delicate, scalpel type cutting to batoning through wood. When held far back by the ring, it can even hack quite effectively. It is well suited to urban use, as well as wilderness bushcraft. In an emergency situation, the thick steel can come in handy for prying, and, with no handle material to get in the way, it can be quite easily lashed to a pole to create a spear. The sheath is also simple, yet very effective. It involves a basic system of using an attached deer skin lace to lash the sheath to the belt. There is a long list of benefits to this simple method: the lace can be replaced with any other cord if necessary; it can be mounted horizontal or vertical, left or right, up or down; it will work with any belt size; and it keeps the sheath tightly secured in place on the belt and close against the body with a low profile. (photos and instructions on how to do this can be provided) The cord can also be used to carry the kiridashi as a “neck knife”. Also, the design of this sheath, with only the ring showing, means that it can only be drawn by putting a finger through the ring which makes it unlikely to be drawn by someone other than yourself. Last, but certainly not least, the sheathed knife can be carried in the pocket of most types of pants with the ring at or slightly below the top of the pocket. Because of the shaping of the sheath (the point above the ring), the knife can be drawn from the pocket with the sheath catching and remaining in the pocket. This is done with only the forefinger through the ring and preferably drawn into a reverse grip. This means that the kiridashi is kept secure and hidden in the pocket, yet can be drawn – into a good self-defense grip – in a split second, without actually reaching into the pocket.

(Email Dylan at sageblades@gmail to order)
Three varying designs of a knife that incorporates a sheath made to fit in a pants pocket. When used correctly, the ring at the end of the handle is partially visible at the top of the pocket and, with only the fore-finger through the ring and an upward pull, the blade is drawn into a reverse grip with the sheath remaining in the pocket. This pocket-carry method keeps the knife far more secure than any belt mounting method and the draw is probably faster since a knife on the belt is likely to have a sheath retention feature that will need to be disengaged, not to mention likely needing to lift a shirt or jacket out of the way. While designed mainly for this pocket carry method, the sheath also comes with a deer skin lace that will allow it to be attached to a belt, in any position, horizontal or vertical, left or right.

THE HAMMERHEAD MULTI-TOOL
- O-1 Tool Steel
- Hardened to approx. 58 Rockwell
- Length: Approx. 4.6 inches
- Weight: Approx. 2.85 Ounces
- “Antique-Etched” finish
- Heat treatment coloration
- Deer skin lanyard
A simple, yet highly versatile tool meant for sheathless pocket carry. The Hammerhead is designed to perform many hard-use tasks that a knife is not best suited for, such as prying or can opening. Because the edges are not sharp, it is also a safer choice for opening boxes or plastic packaging. Made from high-carbon, O-1 tool steel, optimally hardened and tempered, this tough tool can take on many jobs that the multi-tools commonly made of titanium or other softer metals can’t.
