SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Smith & Sons Apex Bocote is a compact, hard-working fixed blade built for those who value craftsmanship and real-world performance. Proudly made in the USA, this knife combines precision machining with the warmth and character of natural materials. Its 2.87-inch drop point blade is crafted from D2 tool steel, a rugged alloy known for its edge retention and toughness. Finished with a smooth satin sheen, the blade offers clean slicing performance and enough backbone for detailed work in the field or around the shop.
The full tang construction provides solid, dependable strength throughout the handle, giving you confidence when applying pressure or working in tight spaces. The handle itself is carved from Bocote wood, a richly grained hardwood that offers both durability and striking visual appeal. It’s smooth in the hand and well-contoured, making it comfortable to use over extended periods. The stainless steel hardware and brass lanyard tube provide a classic, refined contrast to the natural wood, while the included black paracord lanyard offers added utility and quick draw access.
At 7 inches overall and weighing just 4.37 ounces, the Apex hits the perfect balance between portability and capability. It’s compact enough to carry every day, yet stout enough to handle serious cutting, slicing, and camp chores. Whether you're field dressing small game, processing tinder, or just opening boxes, this knife brings the kind of versatility that makes it a dependable companion.
The Apex comes with a high-quality brown leather sheath featuring a stitched belt loop for secure, comfortable carry. The sheath complements the knife’s refined appearance while offering practical field functionality. Every detail in this blade reflects the Smith & Sons commitment to hand-finished quality and thoughtful design. Order it today from SMKW!
