Build Notes:

Natural Handle Care:

American Elk Antler is a durable, naturally beautiful material, but like all organic materials, it benefits from minimal care. Each handle will display its own color, grain, and texture. To preserve its character, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, direct sunlight, or excessive moisture. A little care goes a long way.

Blackout Forced Patina:

This finish is not a synthetic coating. It’s a controlled, natural patina process that will develop its own look over time. Expect subtle lightening or darkening with use, giving each blade a truly individual character.

Sheath Compatibility:

Due to the organic shape and texture of natural materials, Elk Antler handles are not compatible with our Kydex sheaths. Leather sheath options are recommended for best fit and finish.

Customize Your Carry:

• Sheath Options:

- Standard Vertical Leather: a classic, no-nonsense carry style.

-Adventure Carry Leather: modular setup with multiple carry positions. Designed in-house and built from premium leather, the Adventure Carry system offers unmatched flexibility. Whether you prefer scout carry, cross-draw, high ride, drop loop, or other configurations, this setup adapts to your preferred carry style.

-Leather Pocket Carry Sheath: A clean, low-profile carry option designed specifically for the Brave. This sheath is crafted from premium leather and features a sturdy pocket clip, allowing you to carry your Brave securely inside your front pocket, much like a folding knife, but with the confidence of a fixed blade. Slim, functional, and comfortable to wear, it’s perfect for those who want to keep their knife accessible without taking up belt space.

• Multi-Sheath Discounts: Choose additional sheath packages and save when bundling.

Production Model Description:

SMITH & SONS – BRAVE (MAGNACUT EDITION)

One of our most legendary designs—now in Magnacut.

We’re excited to introduce the newest chapter in the Brave’s story—now built with Magnacut, a steel we’ve come to trust and really enjoy working with. It’s not just hype: Magnacut offers a rare combination of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, and it’s quickly become one of our favorites for real-world use.

The Brave has been with us for a long time, and for good reason. It’s one of the knives that helped put Smith & Sons on the map, and it’s been carried and used in just about every setting imaginable—from hunting camps and kitchens to overseas deployments and off-grid expeditions. It’s still compact enough for daily carry, but with enough blade to handle the tough stuff when you need it.

Equally at home in bushcraft, food prep, and everyday use, the Brave continues to deliver performance far beyond its size.
