The Old Forge Copper Fitted Hawkbill Slipjoint brings together classic field styling and hardworking utility in a compact, dependable folding knife built for everyday carry. Model OF024 carries a strong traditional presence with modern reliability, making it a solid choice for those who appreciate time-tested design paired with practical cutting performance.

At its core, this knife features a 3.5" hawkbill blade crafted from surgical stainless steel. The blade’s curved profile is purpose-built for pulling cuts, slicing through fibrous materials, rope, twine, and packaging with controlled precision. The surgical stainless construction offers dependable corrosion resistance and edge stability, giving it the durability needed for shop work, outdoor tasks, or daily utility demands. A nail nick opener keeps things traditional and straightforward, allowing smooth manual deployment with a familiar feel that experienced users will appreciate.

The slipjoint mechanism delivers reliable tension and secure open positioning without the complexity of modern locking systems. It’s a design rooted in tradition, offering confidence in hand while maintaining the knife’s slim, pocket-friendly profile. Closed length measures 4.75", giving it a balanced size that carries comfortably in the pocket without feeling bulky or intrusive.

The handle is crafted from rich brown burlwood, bringing a warm, natural character to the knife that stands out without being flashy. Each handle shows unique wood grain variation, giving every piece its own distinct personality. Copper bolsters and pins add a rugged, work-ready accent that complements the burlwood beautifully, blending durability with old-world craftsmanship. The copper fittings will naturally develop a patina over time, enhancing the knife’s character with use and age.

Designed for right-hand carry, this knife sits comfortably in the pocket and draws smoothly when needed. It’s the kind of tool that feels equally at home in a work apron, tackle box, glove compartment, or field pack. Whether used for everyday cutting tasks or kept as part of a traditional pocket knife rotation, it delivers dependable function with a classic aesthetic that never goes out of style.

The Old Forge Copper Fitted Hawkbill Slipjoint is built for those who value honest materials, practical design, and a no-nonsense approach to everyday cutting tools. It doesn’t rely on gimmicks—just solid construction, proven geometry, and a timeless look that reflects true utility.
