High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Lishen Little Fowl is a compact fixed blade designed for reliable everyday performance in the field, at camp, or around the shop. It features a 3.125” AEB-L stainless steel drop point blade with a clean satin finish. Known for its excellent toughness, corrosion resistance, and fine edge stability, AEB-L is a favorite among serious knife users who demand consistent cutting performance. The drop point profile offers excellent control for detailed tasks while maintaining enough strength along the spine for tougher work.
Constructed with a full tang build, the Little Fowl delivers the strength and balance you expect from a handmade working knife. The handle is crafted from natural canvas Micarta, a durable material that’s widely respected for its grip and reliability in demanding environments. Over time and with use, the Micarta develops its own character while maintaining a secure feel in the hand. The textured surface provides excellent traction whether conditions are dry, wet, or muddy. A lanyard tube at the base of the handle offers additional carry flexibility and added security during use.
With an overall length of 7” and a weight of just 2.22 ounces, the Little Fowl is easy to carry all day without weighing down your gear. Its lightweight, well-balanced design makes it ideal for everyday cutting tasks, outdoor adventures, and general utility work. Despite its compact size, it’s a capable fixed blade ready to handle real-world use.
Each knife includes a high-quality leather sheath with a belt clip, offering secure carry and quick access when you need it most. The sheath protects the blade while maintaining the timeless appeal of a traditional field knife.
