The vibrant G-Carta contrasts nicely with the stainless steel blade, creating a combination that feels equally at home in an outdoor gear collection or alongside other finely crafted tools.
Brass pins add a classic finishing detail to the handle. Their warm metallic tone complements the Peacock G-Carta and reinforces the knife’s traditional handmade aesthetic. Together, the colorful handle and brass accents give this Little Holston plenty of personality without taking away from its purpose as a hardworking cutting tool.
A leather sheath is included for convenient carry and protection. Its traditional construction pairs naturally with the handmade character of the knife, giving you a practical way to keep the Little Holston secure and ready for use.
