The Lishen Little Fowl is a compact fixed blade built for dependable performance in the field, camp, or around the homestead. It features a 3.125” AEB-L stainless steel drop point blade with a clean satin finish, offering excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The versatile drop point profile provides precise control for detailed cutting tasks while maintaining the strength needed for heavier work. From food prep at camp to light game processing and everyday cutting chores, this blade handles the job with confidence.
Built with full tang construction, the Little Fowl delivers strength and balance you can rely on. The handle is crafted from rich Desert Ironwood, a premium hardwood prized for its natural durability, density, and striking grain patterns. Each piece of Ironwood is unique, giving every knife its own character while providing a smooth yet secure grip in hand. A lanyard tube at the base of the handle allows for easy attachment of cordage, adding extra security and carry options when you're on the move.
At 7” overall and weighing just 2.22 ounces, the Little Fowl is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry throughout the day. Its slim profile makes it ideal for slipping onto a belt or into a pack without adding unnecessary bulk. Despite its lightweight build, it remains a capable working knife ready for real-world use.
Every Little Fowl includes a premium leather sheath with a belt clip for secure carry and quick access in the field. The sheath protects the blade while maintaining the classic look and feel that pairs perfectly with a handmade fixed blade.
