Vireo, a compact utility knife.

Hello!

I just found this sub and it seems most people here enjoy pocket knives. Well, so do I!

I am a french bladesmith with nearly two years of experience and I forge everything myself.

This is the Vireo, my most recent design for a young florist competing at the highest level this year. It is inspired by another design I made for him earlier, only this one is much smaller and very comfortable in the hand.

The knife is made of 1075 and 15N20 with a desert/sand-like pattern, the handle uses a piece of desert ironwood burl. The two are kept together with two stainless blind pins. The wide bevel has been ground to a zero edge.

I've made a handful of these and they sold pretty much instantly, so I'm currently working on a ton more with various designs.

Thanks for watching 🙂
