Designed for those who prefer dependable tools over unnecessary flash, this American-made knife combines premium materials, clean craftsmanship, and practical carry into one tough EDC companion.

The Northern Scalpel features a 1.9-inch drop point blade crafted from AEB-L stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its fine edge retention, excellent toughness, and impressive corrosion resistance.

Paired with aluminum pins, the handle offers a clean, modern appearance without sacrificing hard-use functionality.
