Introducing the Garra, a custom handmade folding knife that combines rugged performance with refined craftsmanship. “Garra” means “claw” in Spanish — a nod to its fierce, hawkbill-inspired blade and its purposeful presence in hand. With an overall length of 8 inches and a 3.5-inch blade, it’s built for everyday carry yet worthy of any collection.
At the heart of the Garra is its blade: crafted from AEB-L stainless steel, a material celebrated for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and ability to take a razor-sharp edge. Originally developed for razors, AEB-L balances the qualities of a hard-working tool steel with the corrosion resistance you’d expect from a premium stainless. Each blade is carefully ground and finished by hand with a subtle satin polish that highlights its clean, functional lines.
Smooth, reliable action is guaranteed by its stainless steel caged bearings, delivering a satisfying snap with every flick. The compression lock is trusted by enthusiasts for its strength and safety — it keeps your fingers clear when closing and locks up solid with no blade play. This is a mechanism that feels just as good in the shop or on the trail as it does at your desk when you’re unwinding with a bit of fidget-friendly fun.
Supporting the Garra’s action are titanium liners, chosen for their perfect balance of strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. These liners are hand-fit and contoured for maximum comfort in hand, creating a rock-solid frame that disappears in your pocket but feels substantial when you need it.
Topping it all off are the carbon fiber scales, adding modern sophistication and featherweight durability. The carbon fiber’s subtle pattern catches the light with a unique shimmer, while its textured surface provides a sure, comfortable grip — rain or shine, gloves or bare hands. The Garra’s hardware and pocket clip are all stainless steel, offering a clean, cohesive look and long-lasting durability.
This is not a knife that rolls off an assembly line. Every Garra is handmade by me, start to finish — no shortcuts, no corners cut. From grinding and heat-treating the blade to tuning the action and ensuring dead-center lockup, each detail reflects my commitment to building a knife that feels as good as it looks.
Whether you carry it every day, display it as part of your collection, or pass it down to the next generation, the Garra is made to be used, admired, and appreciated for years to come. It’s more than just a tool — it’s a piece of craft, a companion, and a testament to the enduring art of handmade knifemaking.
The Garra — fierce in spirit, precise in execution, and always ready at your side.
