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

This Great Eastern Cutlery #93 Small Wood Chipper is a stout pinned pocket knife with dry, open-grained Antique Heart Pine covers. Its flat-ground 1095 carbon steel blade wears a patina and runs smaller than a thumb, sized for whittling and carving.

• Flat-Ground 1095 Carbon Steel Blade with Factory Patina - 1095 is a budget-tier simple carbon steel that takes a keen edge easily and comes back on any stone, and it is not stainless, so it wants a wipe dry and a light oiling now and then. The flat grind keeps the blade comes already darkened and thin behind the edge, with a nail nick to bring it open.
• Antique Heart Pine Handle & Beaver Shield - A single nickel silver bolster caps the blade end, brass pins hold the covers to brass liners, and a nickel silver beaver shield sits inlaid in one cover. The reclaimed pine is warm golden brown with the grain plain to see, left bare rather than sealed behind a finish.
• Unbuffed and Patinated Rustic Build - Great Eastern Cutlery says the run skipped buffing and polishing altogether, sending the blades out semi-finished, patinating the blade and springs, then tumbling the whole knife.
• Half-Stop Slip Joint Action - The backspring lands the blade hard at the half stop and hard again at full travel, with a pull that is medium strong, wanting a real nail instead of a fingertip.

The Great Eastern Cutlery #93 Small Wood Chipper

The Great Eastern Cutlery #93 Small Wood Chipper is a carving knife finished for work instead of for display. It sits on a frame that fills the hand, so the grip stays full while the blade stays short enough to steer. 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. It takes chips off a stick the day it arrives, 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

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 actually need one.
