Hinderer LP-1 Fixed Blade Knife 2in Plain Stonewash Wharncliffe

Compact, capable, and purpose-built, the Hinderer LP-1 Wharncliffe proves that big performance can come in a remarkably small package. Measuring just 4.75 inches overall and weighing a mere 1 ounce, this lightweight fixed blade disappears on your person yet stands ready for serious daily cutting tasks. It’s the kind of knife you’ll forget you’re carrying—until the moment you need it.

The 2-inch Wharncliffe blade delivers exceptional control and precision. With its straight cutting edge and fine point, this blade style excels at detailed slicing, utility work, and controlled push cuts. Crafted from premium CPM S35VN stainless steel, the LP-1 offers outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It’s built to hold a razor-sharp edge through repeated use while remaining easy to maintain. The stonewash finish not only enhances wear resistance but also gives the knife a sleek, low-profile look that complements its discreet carry design.

Despite its compact footprint, the LP-1 is engineered for confident handling. The skeletonized handle reduces weight without sacrificing strength, allowing for a secure three-finger grip that feels natural and stable in hand. The minimalist construction keeps the knife streamlined while maximizing control, making it ideal for everyday cutting chores, light outdoor tasks, and quick-access utility work.

Carry options are where the LP-1 truly shines. Each knife comes with a custom-molded Kydex sheath produced by Buy Brown Sheaths, designed for versatility and durability. The sheath offers multiple mounting solutions to match your lifestyle. Prefer neck carry? Attach the included ball chain and wear it comfortably and discreetly. Want belt carry? Add a small Tek-Lok for a secure, traditional setup.

For even greater adaptability, the LP-1 includes the highly regarded Ulticlip 3.3 attachment. Once mounted to the Kydex sheath, the Ulticlip allows you to secure the knife to nearly any edge—pockets, waistbands, backpack straps, gear bags, and more—without needing a belt. It dramatically expands your carry possibilities and keeps the knife anchored exactly where you want it. This thoughtful pairing transforms the LP-1 into a truly modern everyday carry solution, giving you fast access and dependable retention in virtually any scenario.

Small fixed blades have become increasingly popular for their strength, simplicity, and reliability, and the Hinderer LP-1 stands at the forefront of that movement. There are no moving parts to maintain, no locks to fail—just a solid, purpose-driven cutting tool built to perform.

If you’re looking for a compact fixed blade that delivers elite materials, versatile carry options, and unmistakable performance in a minimalist form, the LP-1 is ready to exceed expectations.
