The Grissom Knife & Tool Baby Zeus Folding Knife with Ultem handle and dark stonewashed sheepsfoot blade is a compact powerhouse built for serious everyday performance. Designed to deliver maximum utility in a streamlined footprint, this knife combines modern materials, precise engineering, and a purpose-driven blade shape into a hard-use folder that’s easy to carry and always ready for work.
At the core of the Baby Zeus is a 3.125-inch sheepsfoot blade crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel and finished in a dark stonewash. This finish not only adds a rugged, low-reflective appearance but also helps mask wear from heavy use while enhancing corrosion resistance. The steel itself is trusted for its excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, and ease of maintenance, making it a dependable choice for everyday cutting tasks. The sheepsfoot profile delivers a long, straight cutting edge with a reinforced tip, giving you exceptional control for slicing, controlled utility work, and precision tasks where safety and accuracy matter most. At .110 inches thick, the blade maintains a strong, confident feel without sacrificing cutting efficiency.
Deployment is smooth, fast, and consistent thanks to the ceramic bearing pivot system. The action is refined and reliable, offering effortless opening and a secure lockup that holds steady under use. It’s built for repeated deployment without losing its fluid, responsive feel over time.
The Ultem handle sets this configuration apart with its distinctive translucent amber-gold appearance and high-performance properties. Known for its impressive strength, heat resistance, and lightweight durability, Ultem keeps the knife strong in hand while minimizing carry weight. It delivers a secure, stable grip with a modern, technical aesthetic that stands out without being flashy. At 6.875 inches overall, the Baby Zeus remains compact enough for everyday pocket carry while still offering full functional control in hand.
Precision OEM production ensures every Baby Zeus meets strict standards for fit, finish, and performance. Each component is carefully executed to deliver consistency, durability, and dependable function in real-world use. This is a knife built with intent, not excess.
The Baby Zeus brings together durability, style, and everyday utility into one aggressive, compact design that’s ready to perform when it counts.
