The 2.5-inch drop point blade is made from AEB-L stainless steel, a tough and versatile blade steel known for its corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to take a fine edge. The drop point profile provides a strong tip and useful belly, making the Little Holston well suited for everyday cutting, camp chores, hunting tasks, fishing, and general outdoor utility. Measuring 5.5 inches overall, it’s compact enough for convenient carry while still providing the advantages of a fixed blade.
The Americana Trout G-Carta handle brings a colorful, patriotic character to this compact knife. Featuring red, white, and blue tones, its pattern combines an Americana-inspired color scheme with a distinctive trout-themed design. The durable G-Carta construction is well suited to regular use, while its eye-catching appearance gives the Little Holston a personality all its own. The vibrant handle creates a striking contrast against the stainless steel blade and makes this knife stand out without sacrificing its rugged appeal.
Aluminum pins add a clean, understated finishing detail to the handle. Their metallic appearance complements the colorful G-Carta while helping maintain the secure, streamlined construction of the handle. The combination of red, white, and blue G-Carta with aluminum accents gives the Little Holston a modern handmade look that’s equally suited to an outdoor kit or a personal knife collection.
A leather sheath is included for convenient carry and protection. Its traditional construction pairs naturally with the handmade character of the knife and gives you a practical way to keep the Little Holston secure and ready for use. Whether you’re heading into the woods, spending the day fishing, working around camp, or handling everyday cutting chores, this compact fixed blade is designed to stay close at hand.
