Built with a nod to time-honored craftsmanship and everyday practicality, the Old Forge Copper Fitted Small Lockback Model OF029 delivers dependable performance in a compact, refined package. This knife isn’t about flash—it’s about reliability, feel, and the kind of honest materials that only get better with age.
At the heart of this piece is a 2.125-inch drop point blade forged from surgical stainless steel, finished in a clean satin sheen that resists glare while showcasing the blade’s precision grind. The drop point profile offers excellent control for detailed work, making it a capable companion for everything from opening packages to light-duty field tasks. A traditional nail nick provides smooth, deliberate opening, reinforcing the knife’s classic, no-nonsense design.
The handle is where this knife truly stands apart. Crafted from rich brown burlwood, each piece carries its own unique grain patterns, giving every knife a distinct character. The natural warmth of the wood contrasts beautifully with the copper fittings, which add both visual depth and a touch of old-world durability. Over time, the copper will develop a natural patina, further enhancing the knife’s rugged appeal and individuality.
Measuring 2.875 inches closed, this small lockback is built for easy carry without sacrificing strength. The lockback mechanism provides solid blade security during use, giving you confidence in its performance when it matters most. It’s a design that’s stood the test of time for a reason—simple, strong, and dependable.
Whether you’re a collector who appreciates traditional materials or someone who needs a trustworthy everyday carry, the Old Forge Copper Fitted Small Lockback delivers with quiet confidence. It’s the kind of knife you’ll reach for daily and pass down later.
