Great Eastern Farm & Field Bullnose Black Linen Micarta 1095 Drop Point Slip Joint Work Knife (3.05" Blade) 715126

Low-key to look at and loud on the backspring, the Great Eastern Farm & Field Bullnose in Black Linen Micarta carries a 1095 drop point built for daily pocket chores. The dark scales hide a season of grime.

• 1095 Carbon Steel Drop Point - The satin drop point is an all-around shape for boxes, twine, and slicing an apple at lunch. 1095 is a tough, simple carbon steel that takes a keen edge fast, though it won't hold one as long as premium steels. Wipe it dry and add a drop of oil to keep rust away.
• Slip Joint Backspring - A stout backspring keeps the blade under real tension, and opening takes a deliberate pull at the nail nick. A pronounced half stop catches the blade midway. Open or closed, it lands with a crisp crack you can hear across the room.
• Black Linen Micarta Handle - Dense black linen Micarta stands up to oil, sweat, and wet weather without swelling or splitting. Chamfered edges finish the scales, which are pinned over stainless steel liners with brass pins and a brass lanyard tube. The dark color keeps scuffs and shop dirt out of sight.
• Pocket-Size Build - Closed, it runs just past the length of a credit card.That keeps it carryable every day in a front pocket while the blade still has enough length for real work.

The Great Eastern Bullnose

The Bullnose is the single-blade work knife in the Farm & Field Tool line from Great Eastern Cutlery, which builds plain-spoken pocket knives for real chores. It starts from the simple outline of a sodbuster, then adds a drop point blade and a handle that curves down at the end. Great Eastern keeps the build honest, with tough covers and pinned construction instead of decoration. Every one comes out of the Titusville, Pennsylvania factory after more than 200 hand operations.
