The Gahagan Customs Gael Versatile Fixed Blade takes the proven everyday functionality of the Alviss EDC and gives it a practical Wharncliffe blade profile. Designed for users who value a compact fixed blade, the Gael is lightweight, easy to conceal, and built to handle the demands of everyday use. With its streamlined design and capable cutting profile, it’s an excellent choice for EDC, outdoor chores, utility work, and general cutting tasks.
The 3-inch Wharncliffe blade is crafted from 80CRV2 steel and measures .165-inch thick, giving it a rugged foundation for hard-working performance. A tumbled parkerized finish gives the blade a subdued, utilitarian appearance while providing a finish suited to the wear and tear of daily use. The Wharncliffe profile offers a controlled point and useful straight cutting edge, making the Gael a versatile tool for a wide range of everyday jobs.
A tan G-10 handle keeps the knife lightweight while providing a durable, comfortable grip. The unique G-10 scale features a subtle fade throughout the handle, giving each knife its own individual character. Due to the nature of the material and finishing process, the exact appearance of the fade may vary. At just 3.5 ounces, the Gael is easy to carry without adding unnecessary weight to your gear.
Measuring 6.5 inches overall, the Gael offers a compact footprint while maintaining a comfortable grip. The included black Kydex retention sheath provides secure storage and convenient carry, complementing the knife’s practical, no-nonsense design.
The Gael is backed by the craftsmanship and experience of Kyle Gahagan, whose passion for knifemaking began when he was just 10 years old. After serving with the 1st Ranger Battalion and completing two tours in Afghanistan and two in Iraq, Kyle returned to his passion for knifemaking. What began as a garage hobby eventually developed into a family-sustaining business built around craftsmanship, experience, and a commitment to the end user.
Kyle earned his ABS Journeyman Smith rating at the 2015 Blade Show in Atlanta and appeared on Forged in Fire in 2016. His work has also been featured in Blade Magazine, Knife Magazine, and other publications. His experience as an outdoorsman and dedication to the craft are reflected in knives designed to be practical, dependable, and comfortable in hand.
With its tan G-10 handle, rugged 80CRV2 blade, compact dimensions, and included Kydex sheath, the Gael Versatile is a capable fixed blade that’s ready for everyday duty. It’s a practical expression of Gahagan Customs craftsmanship, built with the end user in mind.
