Wachtman Custom Raptor Fixed Blade Knife Coyote Micarta

The Wachtman Raptor fixed blade is built with purpose and stripped of anything it doesn’t need. This is a compact, hard-use knife designed for real work, whether that’s in the field, on gear, or around camp. The blade is forged from 52100 high-carbon steel, a steel trusted for its toughness, edge stability, and ease of sharpening when it’s time to bring it back to razor sharp.

A black stonewash textured finish gives the blade a subdued, work-ready look while helping mask wear from regular use. The blade profile favors control and strength, making it well suited for slicing, detail work, and utility cuts that demand confidence. Flat-ground geometry keeps performance efficient without feeling fragile, and the full-tang construction delivers balance you can feel the moment it’s in hand.

The handle is built for grip above all else. Coyote tan micarta scales provide a secure, tactile feel in wet, dry, or dirty conditions, and they won’t crack, warp, or give up when the weather turns. An integrated finger ring enhances retention and control, letting you lock the knife into your hand during harder cuts or rapid movements. It’s a design choice that adds both safety and versatility without complicating the profile.

A custom-fit Kydex sheath completes the package, offering secure retention and easy access while keeping carry lightweight and practical. Expect honest wear over time, because this knife is meant to be used, not preserved.
