The NO7 Knife Co. SMKW Exclusive Highland Fixed Blade brings together American craftsmanship, rugged performance, and timeless mountain-inspired character. Proudly made in the USA, this SMKW exclusive fixed blade reflects the values and craftsmanship that define NO7 Knife Company, a small, independent knife shop nestled in the mountains of North Georgia. Founded by Dustin Sumner, NO7 is built on more than eight years of dedication to designing and handcrafting precision cutlery with a vintage soul. The company's name represents the biblical meaning of the number seven, symbolizing completion and perfection. That philosophy carries into every knife, with an emphasis on purpose, balance, integrity, and heirloom-quality craftsmanship designed to last for generations.
At the heart of this Highland is a 3.75-inch drop point blade crafted from 80CrV2 high-carbon steel. Known for its toughness, durability, and dependable cutting performance, 80CrV2 is an excellent choice for a hardworking fixed blade. The classic drop point profile provides a versatile cutting edge with a strong, controlled tip, making it well-suited for everyday utility, outdoor adventures, and demanding field tasks. Its plain edge delivers reliable cutting performance, while the full tang construction provides strength and stability throughout the knife.
The Highland's distinctive Maple-Crosscut Black Micarta Ivory handle gives this exclusive model a striking appearance that blends rugged materials with traditional style. The contrasting colors and crosscut-inspired design create an eye-catching look without sacrificing the practical character of a dependable working knife. Measuring 7.82 inches overall, this fixed blade offers a comfortable balance between portability and usable cutting length. Its ambidextrous design makes it equally accommodating for right- and left-handed users.
For convenient carry and dependable protection, the Highland comes equipped with a Kydex sheath featuring a belt loop attachment. This practical setup keeps the knife secure and accessible when you're working outdoors, exploring the backcountry, or handling everyday cutting chores.
NO7 Knife Company believes a knife should be more than just a tool. It should represent a commitment to quality, tradition, and craftsmanship worth passing down. By combining modern performance with old-world values, Dustin Sumner and his team create knives that honor American heritage while standing up to real-world use.
