After two decades in the knife industry, it takes a lot for our owner to get excited. So when he saw this and threatened to take a couple for "extended home testing & evaluation" ... well you know it's something special.

Pin It

G-carta handle scale. Titanium frame lock. Black Stonewash DLC finished blade made of CPM 20CV stainless.  Pivot Thrust Bearings. Stainless Steel lock insert with overtravel protection. 

This knife is BAD ASS and is truly a functional work of art.  

Made in the USA

From Jake Hoback Knives:

Since the early days of the flagship Kwaiback, we've been bombarded with requests for a slightly smaller blade. But I'm a knifemaker... So I couldn't just make it smaller! I decided to revisit the Kwaiback and start from scratch to make a smaller folder with its own uniqueness. I wanted to make it stand out on its own -- and not just be a smaller Kwaiback.

The first thing I did was reduce the thickness of the materials to 5/32nd, which much better suits the 3 ¼” long blade. Then I designed a compact lock geometry package specifically suited for a smaller knife. I set up an extraordinarily small lock insert with overtravel prevention and stuffed a HRD in for good measure! Voila! We have a perfect EDC for those who don’t want a 4” blade!!! And an external stop pin allows the knife to go further between take-downs for cleaning!

I designed the Radford to be a perfect EDC companion for those who want to be a bit more covert in their blade choice!

Every Radford Mexican Blanket comes with a Velcro-backed patch for your hat or kit bag or...!!
