Designed in Utah and manufactured in Michigan - we are proud to introduce Knafs' first ever Made in the USA knife. Did we mention it's a fixed blade? Perhaps our favorite homegrown ingredient is the Raw CPM Magna Cut 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. This Lulu comes with a black PVD coating.

THE Lulu - Fixed Blade Knife

Designed in Utah and manufactured in Michigan - we are proud to introduce Knafs' first ever Made in the USA knife. 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.

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.

This is probably my favorite fixed blade in my knife collection. I really like the handle and how it has patina'd from use and getting darker.

This knife was built with good craftsmanship. The design is wonderful, and I love to use it. Great job by the Knafs team.

To complement the MagnaCut, we wanted to give this beauty a Scandi grind. We wanted to stay true to our intention: make a bushcraft camping knife, hence, the Scandi. But the first prototype that came back with the Scandi was crashing and burning, we chipped through it in no time. And in miraculous MagnaCut! That's when we learned about the mircobevel, that will protect that Scandi and allow the steel and grind to work together to do its thing.

CONTOURED MICARTA HANDLE

The handle is neutral and doesn’t force the hand into any specific position. It’s a substantial contoured handle that was debated extensively during product development: make it flat for less weight and easier carry, or make it rounded and more functional for long whittling sessions? We went with round function. We went with micarta because we love how micarta looks after using it, plus it maintains its grippiness when it’s wet. There’s a red G10 underlay that accents nicely with green micarta— like an old Coleman stove. Love that stuff.
