With a black Carbon Fiber and G-10 handle surrounding a skeletonized tang and a premium M390 blade, this fixed blade is ready for serious everyday use, outdoor tasks, and demanding utility work.
The 4.21-inch clip point blade is crafted from M390 stainless steel, a premium blade steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall cutting performance. The 0.177-inch blade thickness gives the Pioneer Fix a robust working profile, while the flat grind provides an efficient cutting edge with plenty of versatility. A distinctive Flat Brushed & Matte DLC Ultra finish gives the blade a sophisticated two-tone appearance, combining a subdued brushed surface with the rugged, low-profile look of DLC.
At 8.74 inches overall, the Pioneer Fix offers a substantial reach without becoming unnecessarily oversized. The 4.54-inch handle provides plenty of room for a confident grip, while its Carbon Fiber and black G-10 construction keeps the knife both rugged and visually refined. The handle materials are layered over a skeletonized tang, creating a distinctive construction that balances structural integrity with reduced weight. The combination of Carbon Fiber and black G-10 gives the handle a secure, comfortable feel while reinforcing the knife’s modern, tactical character.
Weighing 5.63 ounces, the Pioneer Fix delivers a reassuring amount of substance in the hand while remaining manageable enough for regular carry and field use. The black color scheme gives the knife a clean, understated appearance, while the contrasting textures of Carbon Fiber and G-10 add visual depth and grip.
The Pioneer Fix comes with a black Kydex sheath that provides a secure, durable carry solution for keeping the fixed blade protected and ready when you need it. Its rugged construction complements the knife’s hard-working design, making the package well suited for outdoor adventures, camp chores, utility work, and everyday carry.
Heat treated to 60-62 HRC, the M390 blade is built to maintain its edge through extended cutting chores. Whether you’re working around camp, processing cordage, preparing materials, or tackling demanding utility tasks, the Pioneer Fix is designed to deliver dependable performance when you need it.
