Description
Indigo Shore is the longest blade in the collection and the only sheepsfoot — a flat straight edge running to a blunt, square-dropped nose. Navy blue canvas Micarta with thin white liners and copper pins, and a white sheath stitched in navy.
A sheepsfoot has no point to catch, so you can cut hard against a board, a box or a length of cord with the whole edge and never wonder where the tip is. It is the safest shape here and, for kitchen and everyday work, probably the most practical.

Built for: kitchen and camp prep, opening and breaking down packaging, cordage, gardening and everyday carry. A good first knife for anyone nervous about a sharp point.
Care: D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel — highly rust resistant but not rust proof. Wipe the blade dry after use and oil it lightly before long storage. Micarta needs almost nothing — soap and water and it is done. Keep the white leather sheath out of prolonged wet and do not store the knife inside it for long periods.
FAQs
Is this knife only for women?
No. It is built on a smaller handle with a lighter, thinner blade, which suits smaller hands and lighter carry — a lot of people prefer that regardless. Buy it on grip size and blade length rather than on the label.
Is the white leather sheath practical?
Yes. It is full-grain leather, hand stitched and moulded to this blade. Like any pale leather it will mark and mellow with handling; most owners think that improves it. Keep it out of prolonged wet and it will last for years.
Is the blade full size and full strength?
Yes. Smaller does not mean lighter duty — same steel, same heat treatment, same hand sharpening as every other knife we make. It is a small knife, not a toy.
What is a sheepsfoot blade?
The edge is straight and the spine curves down to meet it at a blunt, squared nose. With no point, it is much safer for board work and for cutting against something, and the full straight edge is very easy to sharpen.
How tough is Micarta?
Extremely. Micarta is layered canvas set in resin: it will not swell, crack, warp or rot, it shrugs off water, oil and soap, and the woven texture grips better when your hands are wet.
