The Little Pig Prototype framelock folder by renowned custom knifemaker Eddie J. Baca is a compact yet striking piece that showcases both refined craftsmanship and bold design. This early prototype model features a sleek satin-finished blade crafted from premium S30V stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall performance — a choice steel among high-end custom makers.
The handle is built from titanium with a clean bead-blasted finish, offering a modern, utilitarian aesthetic while ensuring strength and lightweight carry. The framelock mechanism engages with confidence, providing rock-solid lockup and a smooth, responsive detent that makes blade deployment feel crisp and deliberate. Blade seating is perfectly dialed in, reflecting Baca's attention to detail and commitment to mechanical precision.
As a prototype, this particular Little Pig holds special significance — it represents an early expression of Baca’s evolving design language and was acquired directly from the maker at the 2011 Blade Show. Its rarity, combined with top-tier materials and flawless execution, make it an exceptional piece for collectors seeking early or one-of-a-kind work from notable American makers.
