The Green Canvas Micarta handle gives this Little Holston a rugged, classic appearance while providing a durable material well suited to regular use. Its earthy green color fits naturally into an outdoor setting, while the canvas texture adds to the knife’s hardworking character. The handle’s subdued appearance keeps the design practical and understated, allowing the clean lines of the sheepsfoot blade to remain the focus.
Brass pins add a traditional touch to the handle and complement the Green Canvas Micarta with their warm metallic tone. The combination of green micarta and brass gives the knife a timeless appearance that feels right at home alongside classic outdoor gear. It’s a straightforward, useful design with enough handcrafted detail to make it stand out from ordinary production knives.
A leather sheath is included for convenient carry and protection. Its traditional construction pairs naturally with the Green Canvas Micarta and brass hardware, adding another layer of classic character to the Little Holston.
