SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Southern Grind Vermin Fixed Knife Black PVD Drop Point with Black Kydex Sheath is a compact, precision-crafted fixed-blade designed for reliability, convenience, and everyday carry. Engineered by Zac Brown and produced under Southern Grind’s strict standards, the Vermin delivers exceptional durability in a lightweight, highly maneuverable package. Its 2.25-inch blade is constructed from 8670M high-carbon steel, a material celebrated for toughness and excellent edge retention, ensuring the knife remains sharp and effective through repeated use. The blade is finished with a black PVD coating, providing a non-reflective surface and enhanced corrosion resistance, making it ideal for tactical applications and outdoor environments.
With a conventional flat grind, the drop point blade offers versatility for precise cuts and controlled piercing, while maintaining structural integrity. Measuring 4.88 inches overall and weighing just 1.3 ounces, the Vermin is exceptionally portable, allowing for discreet carry around the neck or stowed in a pack. The skeletonized handle reduces weight without sacrificing strength, and the ergonomic design provides a secure, comfortable grip for rapid deployment. A paracord necklace is included, giving users the option to carry the knife as a neck knife, ensuring accessibility in a wide range of situations.
The Vermin is built to meet the demands of everyday carry enthusiasts, survivalists, and tactical users alike. Its compact size doesn’t compromise performance; the knife’s robust 0.11-inch-thick blade can handle light utility tasks, self-defense, or emergency situations with confidence. Every detail, from the skeletonized handle to the carefully calibrated blade hardness of RC 58-63, reflects Southern Grind’s commitment to functional, high-quality tools.
Accompanied by a black Kydex sheath, the Vermin provides safe storage and transport while keeping the knife ready for quick access. The sheath is molded for a secure fit and allows multiple carry options, ensuring the knife stays firmly in place during movement. Proudly made in the USA, the Vermin embodies Southern Grind’s philosophy of producing rugged, innovative, and aesthetically striking tools designed for real-world use.
