Overview
The Hummingbird is a concept by Master Bladesmith Jason Knight. It is a compact, amazingly convenient fixed-blade knife that captures my coveted hand-forged design style, spirit, and functionality. Measuring only 5.26 inches (133.5 mm) overall, it is precision machined from AUS-10 stainless steel to provide an excellent balance of edge holding, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The legal-friendly 2.40-inch (61mm) blade showcases my signature sharkfin-clip profile and a full-flat grind that ensures an exceptionally keen edge and low-friction cutting performance.
I'm usually known for big knives but when I started taking The Hummingbird to knife shows in order to get feedback I was blown away by the positive response. People over and over again wanted to purchase the sample prototype, and everyone loved the size and versatility of the Hummingbird. Following is a breakdown of the materials we have chosen for the Hummingbird.
AUS-10A Blade Steel
- High level of hardness makes it capable of taking on rough use
- Despite being very hard, AUS10A steel knives are still easy to sharpen
- High machinability makes it an attractive option for custom knife making
- Rust-resistant so maintenance is relatively easy
- AUS10A blades can get very sharp and can stay that way for a long time
- Suitable for use with food
- Rated at 58-60HRc in the Rockwell scale for the knife nerds :)
Comes with original box, sheath, clip and a set of red G-10 scales. Excellent condition.
