JS "The Deano" Fixed Blade

$162.5 ~~$325~~ In stock

It’s taken us about a year to get this thing perfect, but we are finally releasing our first fixed blade knife! This is, in my opinion, just about the perfect size for edc, camping, general outdoor knife, just about anything that doesn’t require a sword! Large enough to handle most tasks with ease but also small enough to comfortably carry everyday or even pocket carry if that’s your jam. Made from tough nitro-v steel and then cerakoted and tumbled to give it a bit of a battle worn finish. We didnt want a perfect sheen, it comes pre-broken in! This thing is meant to work, not sit in a case and look pretty.

The Deano is named after my Uncle who is a proper Kentucky mountain man and is also the person that gave me my first knife, took me camping for the first time, and started my love of knives and the outdoors. Seemed a fitting name for our first knife!

I was a little worried fixed blades would feel bulky in a pack, but this one disappears until you need it. The size is honestly perfect for everyday carry, and the blade came razor sharp right out of the box.

Spent a week camping and the handle felt solid even after chopping kindling in the rain. The blade’s size hits that sweet spot for both bushcraft tasks and tossing in a daypack. Honestly, it’s rare to find a fixed blade that feels this balanced right out of the box.

Took it out for a weekend camp trip and the blade held up great through batoning and food prep. The size feels spot on for everyday carry too, not too big to be bulky but still enough grip for heavier tasks.
