The Very Good Knife Co. Hornet Fixed Knife is built for those who want a dependable everyday carry blade with the strength to handle demanding tasks. Designed as a larger evolution of the popular Wasp, the Hornet combines a practical profile, comfortable ergonomics, and premium materials to create a tough EDC fixed blade that's ready for daily use, outdoor adventures, and everything in between. With its balance of precision cutting ability and rugged durability, the Hornet is a reliable tool designed to earn its place on your belt.
Proudly made in the USA by Very Good Knife Company LLC, the Hornet reflects the craftsmanship and experience of founder Jacob Asuit, a career knifemaker with 12 years of intricate custom knife work. Every aspect of the design has been carefully considered to deliver the performance, comfort, and reliability expected from a high-quality fixed blade.
The Hornet features a 3.75-inch blade crafted from premium AEB-L stainless steel, a steel known for its excellent toughness, corrosion resistance, and ability to maintain a sharp, dependable edge. The 0.165-inch thick blade provides the rigidity needed for harder work while remaining thin enough for efficient cutting performance. Its slight drop point profile offers a versatile balance of strength, control, and utility, making it well suited for everything from everyday cutting chores to outdoor tasks. The hollow grind creates an exceptionally sharp and efficient edge, allowing the blade to slice smoothly through material while maintaining the durability needed for heavier use. A rugged stonewashed finish adds a low-maintenance appearance while helping conceal the wear that comes from regular carry and use.
The Python Micarta handle is designed to provide comfort and confidence for a wide range of hand sizes. Its spacious design offers a secure grip without feeling bulky, allowing for excellent control during both precision cuts and more demanding tasks. Micarta is known for its durability, weather resistance, and dependable traction, making it an ideal choice for a knife designed to be carried and used in a variety of environments.
Measuring 7.75 inches overall and weighing 5.35 ounces, the Hornet offers an excellent balance of capability and portability. It's large enough to handle serious work while remaining compact enough for comfortable everyday carry. The included minimalist black Kydex sheath is designed with EDC in mind, keeping the knife lightweight and accessible without unnecessary bulk.
The sheath includes both a scout carry belt loop and a vertical carry belt loop, along with the screws needed to attach either option. It is also compatible with both large and small Tek-Lok belt attachments, giving you multiple carry configurations to match your preference.
Built with premium materials, American craftsmanship, and a purpose-driven design, the Very Good Knife Co. Hornet is a fixed blade that's ready for everyday challenges. It's a dependable EDC companion that delivers the cutting performance and confidence you expect from a serious working knife.
