Lishen Knives Little Holston Drop Point Fixed Blade Knife Black Canvas Micarta LKLHDPBKCAN

The Lishen Knives Little Holston Drop Point is a compact fixed blade built for everyday utility, outdoor work, and precise cutting tasks. Its size makes it easy to carry while still providing the strength, balance, and cutting ability you expect from a hardworking field knife.

Lishen Knives is a custom knifemaker based in Bristol, Tennessee, where Cass and Christian Lishen produce outdoor fixed blades and kitchen cutlery in small batches by hand. Their work blends traditional blade styles with thoughtful modern refinement, creating knives that feel familiar while offering a distinctive character of their own. Christian often takes classic patterns and reworks them with subtle design updates that improve handling and visual appeal. Each knife is carefully handcrafted with close attention to detail, resulting in American-made blades that look exceptional, feel great in the hand, and are built to perform.

The Little Holston features a 2.5-inch drop point blade crafted from AEB-L high-purity stainless steel. Known for its fine grain structure and excellent edge stability, AEB-L takes an extremely sharp edge and maintains it through repeated cutting tasks. The drop point profile provides a strong, controllable tip with plenty of belly for slicing, making it a versatile choice for everyday carry, camp use, and general outdoor work.

Full tang construction provides strength and balance throughout the knife. Black canvas Micarta handle scales offer a secure grip in wet or dry conditions, and the textured material develops a rich character as it ages and sees regular use. At 5.5 inches overall, the Little Holston is compact enough for easy carry while still offering a comfortable and confident grip during extended cutting tasks.

A quality leather sheath is included for secure belt carry and quick access when the job calls for it.
