The Very Good Knife Co. Tradition Fixed Knife is built for hunters and outdoorsmen who need a dependable blade capable of handling demanding work in the field. Designed as a heavy-duty hunting knife, the Tradition combines a time-tested profile with premium materials and ergonomic comfort to deliver outstanding cutting performance when it matters most.

Proudly made in the USA by Very Good Knife Company LLC, the Tradition reflects the experience and craftsmanship of founder Jacob Asuit, a career knifemaker with more than 12 years of intricate custom knife work. His commitment to quality and functional design is evident in every aspect of this knife, resulting in a production model that offers the feel and performance of a custom-built tool.
The Tradition features a 3.75-inch blade crafted from premium AEB-L stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its exceptional toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and fine edge stability. With a blade thickness of 0.195 inches, it offers the durability needed for demanding outdoor use without sacrificing cutting efficiency. Its sweeping, curved blade profile naturally excels at hunting tasks, while the hollow grind produces an incredibly sharp edge that glides effortlessly through hide, meat, and other materials. Whether you're making long slicing cuts or detailed precision work, the blade delivers smooth, controlled performance. A rugged stonewashed finish helps minimize glare while disguising the cosmetic wear that naturally comes from years of dependable service.
The Green Micarta handle is designed to maximize comfort and control during extended use. Thick, contoured, and highly ergonomic, it fills the hand securely and makes it easy to maintain a confident grip in wet, cold, or dirty conditions. The pronounced contours also allow you to identify the knife's orientation by feel alone, providing added confidence when visibility is limited or your attention is focused on the task at hand. Micarta is prized for its toughness, weather resistance, and dependable grip, making it an ideal choice for a hard-working hunting knife.
At 7.75 inches overall and weighing 6.8 ounces, the Tradition offers excellent balance between maneuverability and strength. Its robust construction gives it the confidence-inspiring feel needed for challenging work, while its carefully designed proportions keep it comfortable for detailed cutting and extended use.
The included black Kydex sheath provides secure retention, dependable protection, and quick access whenever the knife is needed. Built for rugged environments, it keeps the Tradition safely at your side and ready for action in the field.
From opening day through countless seasons ahead, the Very Good Knife Co. Tradition is a hunting knife built to earn your trust. Combining premium materials, American craftsmanship, and practical design, it's ready for every challenge the outdoors has to offer.
