The Lishen Knives Little Holston is a compact fixed blade that blends practical cutting performance with the distinctive character of a handmade knife. Crafted by hand in Bristol, Tennessee, this Little Holston reflects Lishen Knives’ commitment to creating functional tools that are also aesthetically beautiful. Every piece is made in-house before reaching distributors or customers, ensuring the careful attention to detail and dependable construction you expect from a handcrafted knife.
The 2.5-inch sheepsfoot 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 sheepsfoot profile features a straight cutting edge and controlled tip, making it especially useful for precise slicing, trimming, and everyday utility work. Its compact design is equally at home handling camp chores, fishing tasks, hunting duties, and general outdoor cutting. Measuring 5.5 inches overall, the Little Holston provides the advantages of a fixed blade in an easy-to-carry package.
The Peacock G-Carta handle gives this Little Holston an eye-catching appearance while maintaining its rugged, practical character. Its rich, flowing pattern creates a distinctive combination of colors that makes every knife stand out. G-Carta provides a durable handle material suited to regular use, while the vibrant Peacock pattern adds a touch of artistic character to the compact design. It’s a combination that looks just as good in a collection as it does in an outdoor kit.
Brass pins add a classic finishing touch to the handle. Their warm metallic tone complements the colorful G-Carta and gives the knife a traditional handmade aesthetic. Together, the Peacock G-Carta and brass pins create a striking contrast with the AEB-L stainless steel blade, giving this Little Holston plenty of personality without losing sight of its practical purpose.
A leather sheath is included for convenient carry and protection. Its traditional construction pairs naturally with the handmade character of the knife while providing a practical way to keep the Little Holston secure and ready for use. Whether you’re heading into the woods, working around camp, spending a day fishing, or handling everyday cutting chores, the sheath helps keep this compact fixed blade close at hand.
