We don't typically sell anything we don't make but we were so impressed by the simplicity and construction of these knives we thought we'd like to offer them to our customers. These are true work knives, robust, easy to handle, well balanced bulletproof. All are lockback full carbon blades unless otherwise noted. The black version is identical to the famous K55 Black Cat version made popular by 50's Bronx street gangs, we opted for the non-Katze embossed version.
