The Doc Shiffer Recon Folding Knife isn’t just handmade—it’s a statement of craftsmanship, design, and American steel. This custom piece features a 3.5" 1095 carbon steel drop point blade with a striking stonewashed finish and a visible Harmon line that gives it a raw, forged character. Sharp, dependable, and packed with style, this blade flips open smoothly with a blade flipper and locks up solid with a titanium framelock.
The front scale is crafted from Harmon line stonewashed titanium that mirrors the blade’s look, giving the knife a unified, battle-worn aesthetic. The rear scale and matching pocket clip are forged from titanium with a deep, rich copperwashed patina—aged to perfection and loaded with character. Each component has its own unique coloration and markings, telling a story of heat, steel, and precision by hand. It’s a knife built not just for use, but for appreciation.
Closed, it measures 4.87"—compact enough to carry every day, but bold enough to draw attention. This collectible knife does show some natural discoloration on the blade and handles, which only enhances its handcrafted nature and sets it apart from mass-produced alternatives. It’s a knife with soul, built by one of America’s elite makers.
If you're holding this piece, chances are it came from Smoky Mountain Knife Works—the world’s largest knife store and a true destination for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Nestled in the heart of Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, SMKW draws more than 1.5 million visitors a year to its massive showroom and stands as the ultimate online knife source.
