Small shop. Acid washed MagnaCut. Handmade sheath. The MC.

Watch Video: Instagram

Townsend Knife Co. is a one-person operation making knives by hand in the USA. The MC is the flagship model: a 2.5" drop point fixed blade in CPM MagnaCut with an acid washed finish, paired with a medium brown vegetable tan leather sheath made in-house by the same hands that ground the blade. The model name is laser engraved on the front of the handle along with Made in USA. The acid washed finish gives the MagnaCut blade a distinctive, slightly mottled surface character that reads as a working knife finish rather than a showpiece. At approximately 6.8" overall with a 4.3" handle and a 2.5" blade, the MC carries in a front pocket or on a belt without demanding real estate. This is a compact, capable fixed blade from a maker who builds everything himself.

The warranty reflects exactly how small this operation is, and that transparency is worth noting. The maker will fix or replace defective blades. Replacements may be in 52100 high carbon steel if MagnaCut stock is unavailable. Any defect that is the maker's own doing will be fixed or replaced with an equal blade. It is an honest warranty from a maker who stands behind his work without corporate language.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The MC is the kind of knife LSKS was built to carry. One maker, one knife at a time, MagnaCut blade, handmade leather sheath, Made in USA laser engraved on the handle. The acid washed finish on MagnaCut is not something you see every day and it looks better in hand than in photos. Supporting Townsend Knife Co. means supporting American knifemaking at its most fundamental level.

Why You'll Want It

The MC is a compact MagnaCut fixed blade made entirely by one person, including the leather sheath it ships with. The acid washed finish is a surface treatment you rarely see on MagnaCut and it suits the working character of the knife. If you want a handmade American fixed blade that earns its place in a pocket rather than on a shelf, this is the one.
