In the old days, a blade was a friend for life, carried through winter and war, handed from father to son.
These are made the same way: one at a time, by fire and by hand, to outlast the one who carries them.
Compact, foldable, and made for everyday carry. Blade lengths of 6–8 cm keep them discreet and pocketable while still handling the small tasks that come up constantly in daily life.
Folding blades are typically flat or hollow ground with a distinct secondary bevel for added edge durability on a thinner blade. Typical edge angle: 30–40° inclusive (15–20° per side), suited to the light, varied cutting tasks pocket knives handle day to day.
