Great Eastern Cutlery Farm & Field #93 Large Wood Chipper Antique Heart Pine 1095 Carbon Steel Pocket Knife (3.87" Closed) 930126L

This Great Eastern Cutlery #93 Large Wood Chipper wears antique heart pine reclaimed from old buildings. It is a whittler first, all handle and very little blade, and the 1095 arrives with a patina already surfaced.

• Antique Heart Pine Scales - Salvaged from old-growth longleaf that came out of 18th and 19th century buildings, so the growth rings run tight and the color sits between amber and deep red. Finished smooth and matte rather than polished, it stays warm under the hand and dense enough to take knocks.
• 1095 Wharncliffe Blade with Factory Patina - A straight edge to a fine point, a little longer than a AA battery, ground flat and thin, pushing through wood instead of wedging. 1095 is a simple carbon steel that takes a keen edge and comes back on a strop, and this one lands already darkened. Keep it oiled.
• Single Bolster #93 Swayback Frame - Nickel silver bolstered and pinned together over brass liners, with a beaver shield set into the scale and brass pins running through it. The swayback curve locates your hand for you, dropping into the palm one way and staying there, and the slim build lies flat in a pocket.
• Firm Pull & Half Stops - The nail nick gives a proper nail something to catch, which it needs, because the backspring pulls firm. The blade runs through a half stop on the way and snaps closed crisply. That is the walk and talk a pinned traditional is supposed to have.

The Great Eastern Cutlery #93 Wood Chipper

The Great Eastern Cutlery #93 Wood Chipper puts almost all of its length behind the edge rather than in it. That runs backwards for a frame Great Eastern Cutlery introduced in 2019 around an oversized blade, and it is the whole point — carving is a job you hold a knife through far more than you cut with it. This USA Made swayback runs a full size handle while the wharncliffe stops early, leaving room to choke forward when the cut gets fine and room to sit back when it wants weight.

The Great Eastern Cutlery Farm & Field Tool Series

Farm & Field Tool is the working end of what Great Eastern Cutlery builds, and the company says as much — the branding, in their words, exemplifies the intended use for these products, on the farm or in the field. The line runs 1095 blades, reinforced pivots and durable handle materials, and it is aimed at people who carry a knife because they need one.
