3" Stubby Knife

The 3" Stubby is a compact, minimalist knife cut from 1/8" thick 1095 high carbon steel, delivering impressive performance once properly heat-treated. With an overall length of 3 inches and a 1.5-inch blade, this small but capable knife is perfect for compact EDC builds, utility cutting, keychain-style carry, or as a lightweight workshop companion.

This knife is available in two versions:

• Unfinished — allowing you to grind, heat-treat, sharpen, and finish it yourself
• Finished — professionally hardened and sharpened, ready for use

Ideal for makers, hobbyists, and anyone looking for a small, functional blade built from a clean, professional starting profile.
