The Tenable Parr fixed blade knife is a compact, lightweight cutter built for dependable everyday performance and practical carry. It features a 2.87” reverse tanto blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel with a rugged blackwash finish that helps hide wear while giving the blade a tough, broken-in appearance. Known for excellent corrosion resistance, strong edge retention, and overall toughness, 14C28N is a proven performer for daily cutting tasks. The reverse tanto profile reinforces the tip for controlled piercing while maintaining efficient slicing ability for utility work and general use.
Built with full tang construction, the Parr delivers strength and stability in a slim, easy-carry design. The handle is made from brown Micarta, offering a classic, field-ready look paired with reliable performance. Micarta provides excellent grip security that improves with use, maintaining traction in wet or dry conditions without feeling harsh in hand. The warm brown tone adds a traditional, outdoors-oriented aesthetic that complements the knife’s functional design. A lanyard hole at the base of the handle adds additional carry and retention options.
At 6.38” overall and weighing just 2.34 ounces, the Parr is designed for minimal bulk and maximum portability. It carries easily without weighing you down, making it a strong option for everyday use, travel, or lightweight outdoor tasks. A precision-molded Kydex sheath with a belt clip is included, offering secure retention and quick, reliable access when needed.
Designed by Jonathan Styles, a knifemaker and outdoorsman from Newfoundland, Canada, the Parr reflects a practical, experience-driven design philosophy shaped by real-world use in rugged environments. His approach focuses on durability, simplicity, and performance without unnecessary complexity.
