The Tenable Parr fixed blade knife is a compact, purpose-built cutter designed for lightweight carry and dependable everyday performance. It features a 2.87” reverse tanto blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel with a rugged blackwash finish that helps conceal wear while reinforcing its hard-use, field-ready character. Known for excellent corrosion resistance, strong edge retention, and reliable toughness, 14C28N is well suited for real-world cutting tasks. The reverse tanto profile adds a reinforced tip for controlled piercing while maintaining efficient slicing geometry for everyday utility work.
Built with full tang construction, the Parr delivers strength and stability in a slim, easy-carry design. The handle is made from purple Micarta, offering a bold visual twist paired with proven performance. Micarta provides a secure, comfortable grip that improves with use and maintains excellent traction in wet or dry conditions. The textured surface enhances control without feeling harsh in hand, while the deep purple tone gives the knife a distinctive, standout appearance. A lanyard hole at the base adds extra carry and retention options for field use.
At 6.38” overall and weighing just 2.34 ounces, the Parr is built for effortless carry without sacrificing cutting capability. It comes equipped with a precision-molded Kydex sheath and belt clip, providing secure retention and fast access whether worn on the belt or carried as part of everyday gear.
Designed by Jonathan Styles, a knifemaker and outdoorsman from Newfoundland, Canada, the Parr reflects a practical, experience-driven approach to design. His work emphasizes real-world usability, clean lines, and dependable performance in demanding environments.
