CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for hard work in unforgiving environments, the Smith & Sons Mudbug in D2 tool steel is a folder with fixed blade-level toughness. The 3.75" D2 tool steel blade is all business—tough, wear-resistant, and designed to hold a keen edge through relentless use. A pronounced drop point shape with a high flat grind gives it excellent slicing power without sacrificing tip strength, and the stonewashed finish shrugs off scratches and scuffs from daily carry. The lockback mechanism is rock-solid and dependable, giving you the confidence of a fixed blade in a compact folding form.
The Teal Burlap Micarta handle scales provide more than just eye-catching style—they're built for grip in any weather. With a coarse texture and natural moisture resistance, this handle material excels in both dry and wet conditions. Stainless steel hardware and an open-backed construction make maintenance simple, and the lanyard hole gives you options for carry or added retention in the field.
This version ships without a sheath, making it ideal for those who plan to carry it clipped in a pocket or pack or who prefer to rig up their own custom carry method. Whether you're on the ranch, in the shop, or out in the woods, the Mudbug is ready to take on real work without flinching.
Forged in tradition and trusted by millions, this blade is backed by the expertise of Smoky Mountain Knife Works—home to the world’s largest knife showroom. Nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains, this Tennessee landmark draws over 1.5 million knife enthusiasts every year.
