CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Condor Carlitos Neck Knife in Desert configuration offers compact, no-nonsense performance for discreet everyday carry and quick-access tasks. Its 2.5-inch blade, crafted from 1075 high-carbon steel with a hollow grind and black Cerakote finish, delivers reliable edge retention and corrosion resistance while maintaining a low-profile look. That full-tang build ensures durability for slicing rope, opening packages, prepping food, or handling emergencies without flex or failure.
The handle, wrapped in desert tan paracord, provides a secure, textured grip that stays comfortable and non-slip even in humid or sweaty conditions. Paracord wrapping adds utility—you can unwind it for cordage in a pinch—while keeping the knife lightweight at just 2.5 ounces. The overall 5.4-inch length makes it vanish comfortably under clothing or on a neck chain, with no added bulk to slow you down.
The included Kydex sheath, complete with paracord attachment, secures the blade safely yet allows fast deployment when seconds matter. Released in 2021, this design honors practical reliability for hikers, campers, tactical users, or anyone who wants a tough, hidden tool ready for daily demands.
