Some specs are subject to variation because these are wholly handmade or hand finished and some variation in steel or thickness due to customer requests or available materials. The specs below are the most commonly used.
Knife Description:
The Sick Nasty: takes its inspiration from the spey blade pattern of traditional folders, modified to have more edge in order to function as a perfect modern everyday fixed blade carry option. The curve near the heel of the blade gives it that great slicing action in both forward and backward movements.
As a knife designer, I’ve tried to pack as much belly into The Sick Nasty as I could. As a result of working with JK Knives, like a traditional spey blade pattern, it is an exceptional slicer with a strong tip that is useful but not so fine and stabby that it easily penetrates things you don't want to pierce. The Sick Nasty's palm filling handle is made from roughed micarta that provides an optimal amount of purchase and grip.
It's an optimal small game cleaning knife, but much more substantial in the hand as compared to a caping blade and certainly isn't limited to that task alone. It really surprises on the kitchen cutting board, despite its short blade length and will serve well as a compact camp kitchen knife for the weight-conscious outdoorsman.
Knife Description:
The Bush Buddy is a nice little knife for woodworking and fire starting. It’s a compact bushcraft knife with a short blade that is capable because it has a full-length grip and neutral handle style that allows for many grips styles. The elevated tip lengthens the belly while acting as a perch for your forefinger or thumb, giving increased control of the tip and belly.
This knife is perfect for the outdoorsman who wants a lightweight and compact knife for starting fires, working wood, and some food prep while still being a good option for EDC when desired.

Knife Description:
Michigan Utility Knife: This is a great slicer and has a very useful point for many tasks around the house, yard, woods, and more. The handle is full and comfy. I designed this knife with the idea that it would cover almost any task us Michiganders would deal within a given day, from farming to cooking to bushcraft.

The convex grind does a great job moving wood around slicing up your favorite meats and potatoes for your meal over a campfire. The handle is neutral so it can accommodate plenty of hand positions.

Knife Description:
Bush Brute: The bigger brother to our Bushcamp, the bush brute has a longer and broader blade with a slightly longer handle, both to help with heavier chores. The brute will excel around the camping environment while remaining durable enough to handle wood processing and shelter building tasks . The high point makes it a pleasure for push cutting feathers sticks or cutting on a flat surface like a cutting board, picnic table, or log. The convex grind does a great job moving wood around or slicing up your favorite meats and potatoes for cooking over the campfire. The neutral handle shape accommodates many hand positions for great versatility.
Knife Description:
SITREP: The SITREP is our answer to a utility fighting knife. The SITREP is going to slice well while also being durable and reliable so you don't have to feel bad about beating it through wood, doors, bone, wire, and most things we abuse our knives with. The tip is finer than most survival knives because we wanted better piercing performance and to retain superb slicing along the entire belly if you have to use this for protection against human or animal. The spine is radiused in the last 1/3 of the blade to aid in stabbing while also being gentle on thumbs and batons.
The balance of the SITREP is going to feel quite great in hand and the broad blade holds up to chopping and rough shaping wood for your shelters while still retaining that great cutting ability you want when processing game or fixin' a meal for you and your camp mates.
We chose AEB-L steel because we believe the ease of maintenance of stainless combined with the amazing toughness that AEB-L has was a great steel choice for something you can take with you anywhere or leave stored in a go-back or vehicle for long durations without the worry of corrosion.
The handle is designed to be secure and ergonomic. It will be a little thinner than what we're used to because the handle is tall so it indexes really well and it resists rotating in hand while you're pushing it through your work. Make no mistake, it still fills the hand well but we do have 2 different thickness available with the combination of liners and scales. The tang is be exposed for smashing and hammering needs, maybe some light prying too. This adds additional utility to the knife while bringing the weight back towards the handle to give the blade tip more agility for quick and accurate movements.
The 24/7 knife is designed to be something comfortable enough to use a lot, but small enough that it's still convenient to carry. The blade is a little taller than many bird and trout designs and matched with a full-height grind it will be a great slicer with a compact but nicely curved handle that will fit most hands very well.
