The Knafs Little Lulu is a compact fixed blade built with grit, curiosity, and a willingness to dive headfirst into American manufacturing. After years of planning, refining, and learning the hard way, Knafs brought this small but capable knife to life through hands-on design, machining, and assembly. It’s a knife shaped by persistence and the simple drive to make something worthwhile.
The Little Lulu carries a 1.9" MagnaCut stainless steel drop point blade that delivers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and dependable cutting performance. Its size makes it perfect for everyday camp and trail tasks like feather sticking, carving, opening packages, and handling the countless little jobs that come up outdoors.
Grippy green micarta handle scales provide a confident hold even in wet conditions, while the compact fixed blade design keeps the knife strong and reliable. The knife rides securely in a rugged Kydex sheath, making it easy to carry whether you’re hiking, exploring, or working around camp.
The design traces back to a jungle trip in 2023, where the need for a small but more capable knife sparked the original sketches. After several redesigns and plenty of trial and error, the final result became the Little Lulu. Each knife is milled and ground by Alan, a longtime friend of the brand, before final assembly by the Knafs team.
Named after Montana’s remote Lulu Pass, the knife reflects the rugged landscape that inspired it—an unforgiving place where only the toughest things grow.
