Description

Inspired by traditional working knives, the Ultralight Teardrop from Upstate Cutlery Co. blends timeless craftsmanship with practical everyday utility. Its 2.6-inch flat-ground blade, forged from dependable 1095 high-carbon steel, offers excellent cutting performance, easy field sharpening, and the rugged durability that has made 1095 a trusted steel for generations.

The Red Linen Micarta handle, accented with a classic shield, provides a comfortable, secure grip while lending the knife a warm, traditional character that only improves with age and use. Measuring just 0.35 inches thick, the slim handle keeps the knife lightweight and highly pocketable without sacrificing control.

At 6.6 inches overall with a 0.100-inch blade thickness, the Ultralight Teardrop is perfectly sized for everyday carry, combining a nimble cutting feel with the strength needed for daily tasks. Built with honest materials and attention to detail, it reflects the enduring tradition of handcrafted American knives.
