Heavy Mettle: A Gentleman’s Blade with Working-Class Roots
There’s a certain kind of knife that doesn’t try to look dangerous.
It doesn’t come out of the pocket like it’s announcing something. It doesn’t beg for attention. It just does its job, quietly, day after day, until you start to realize you’d miss it if it wasn’t there.
That’s the Heavy Mettle.
Clean lines. Balanced proportions. A profile that feels comfortable in a front pocket whether you’re wearing denim or a sport coat. It has that composed, almost formal look of a gentleman’s blade. Refined. Intentional. Understated.
But it never forgot where it came from.
The sheepsfoot profile is where the working class shows up. That straight edge is practical in the truest sense of the word. It’s built for control. Built for daily tasks. Breaking down boxes in the garage. Opening shipments at the office. Cutting cord, trimming loose threads, handling the thousand small jobs that make up a normal week.
No drama. Just utility.
The blade is D2 steel, chosen for one simple reason. It holds an edge. You sharpen it, you put it to work, and it stays sharp longer than it has any right to at this price point. It’s dependable in a way that matters when you carry a knife every day.
The handle is G10. Not flashy. Not delicate. It’s there because it works. It’s tough, stable, and confident in the hand without being aggressive. It gives you grip without chewing up your pocket. It’s material made for use, not display cases.
Heavy Mettle lives in that space between refinement and grit. It feels at home in a meeting, but it doesn’t flinch at real work. It’s clean enough to pass as elegant, tough enough to earn respect.
Most knives lean hard in one direction. Tactical. Outdoors. Showpiece. This one doesn’t need to.
It’s built for the everyday.
