Shed Knives was created in 2018 between three teenage friends in the US using a forge made from a big aluminium bucket, clay from the local river, a coffee can, a hair dryer, and a metal tube connecting the forge to the hair dryer. The whole thing was created for $4.98 with only the vent tube needing to be bought! Several years later they are still making knives but with slightly better kit! The passion, however, remains and is evident in the exemplary design and thought behind the functionality behind these impressive blades.
If you’re looking for a smaller outdoor knife, yet want a tactical design, and with the same power and versaitlity of a larger blade then the 2023 US Tanto is the knife for you. Shed knives are rightly proud of the fact that they source 100% of their material from the US aloing with 100% US production. 154-CM stainless steel is used for the blade which is capable of a sharp edge and holds for long periods before needing to be sharpened.
The G-10 handles can be replaced/removed with either a flat or phillips bit screwdriver. The 3 screws can be used in the Kydex sheath to connect the clip. The G-10 handle can stay firmly attached without the middle screw if needed.
All 2023 models come with a black Kydex sheath. The Kydex sheath allows the knife to click into place and stay there without the worry your knife will cut through the sheath (which can happen with leather and Nylon) or fall out.
The jimping on the spine of the knife is a nice addition to help the user maintain a firm grip on the knife along with better control. The sharpening choil also helps the user with sharpening as it separates the blade from the handle with a clear & defined gap and helps the user fully sharpen the blade all the way to the heel. The half inch lanyard hole can be used to attach the knife to rope, line, D-rings, gear, and more.
