THE LULU
Designed in Utah and manufactured in Michigan - Knafs is proud to introduce our first ever Made in the USA knife - The Lulu. Did we mention it's a fixed blade?
When we say USA Made, we mean it. The knife itself is produced here, yes, but everything down to the sticker on the box is sourced locally in the US.
Perhaps our favorite homegrown ingredient is the Raw CPM MagnaCut blade steel. This stuff is ultra-high-performance while also being completely unique to each knife. No stonewash, bead blast, satin, or polish here. This is how it comes directly after it cools into sheets of raw metal. Slight pitting, scratching, and scuffing to be expected.
And for the kicker Ben himself flew all the way to the Colombian Amazon to put the Lulu through its paces. Save the details for the blog, but let's just say she didn't disappoint.
Who is Lulu? That's tough to say definitively, but this Lulu is named after a favorite mountain pass in Southern Montana. Who was that pass named after? That's a different story for another time.
