*CUSTOM SHOP RUN* SHREW BADLANDS BLACKOUT (MAGNACUT)

Smith & Sons Custom Run – Badlands Blackout Shrew

This Custom Shop run of the Shrew pairs our newest EDC-focused design with a blackout forced patina* Magnacut blade and rugged Badlands Burlap Micarta handles. Featuring a rich blend of natural and black burlap layered with deep rust-red resin, each handle is hand-sanded to a smooth, comfortable finish and carries its own unique look and character.

Compact, lightweight, and highly capable, the Shrew is built for everyday carry and utility, offering excellent ergonomics and fast, confident handling in a streamlined package.

Built from CPM Magnacut, a steel known for its elite edge retention and corrosion resistance, the Badlands Shrew is designed to perform far beyond what its footprint might suggest.

Offered with your choice of Kydex or leather pocket carry sheath options, each knife is finished in-house with the same attention to detail that defines our Custom Shop.

*BLACKOUT FORCED PATINA: A forced patina finish is just that, a controlled method of forcing a patina to form on the steel’s surface, and is not a manmade coating. The blade will lighten/darken in some areas with use, which is expected, intentional, and part the charm of owning a forced patina blade. Your knife’s patina will evolve as you use it, meaning every knife will develop its own look and personality.

MODEL DESCRIPTION:

SMITH & SONS CUSTOM SHOP – SHREW

This listing marks the introduction of a new model from Smith & Sons. We felt it was only right to inaugurate it with a Custom Shop run, celebrating the launch before moving into future production offerings.

Some may remember the original Shrew from years past, a fan favorite that has not been built for the better part of a decade. While this new version shares a similar overall footprint, it has been completely redesigned from the ground up and carries forward the spirit and intended use of the original.

Designed with that same mindset, the Shrew takes its cues from its namesake. It is quick, capable, and built with serious performance in mind. Every line and contour has been carefully refined to create a knife that feels like a natural extension of the hand and is ready for serious work.

Lightweight, highly ergonomic, and built for everyday carry and utility, the Shrew offers a level of control and confidence that sets it apart. It carries easily, deploys quickly, and punches well above its weight class.

Each knife is finished in-house to the same high standards of fit and finish that define our Custom Shop. Each knife in this batch is individually finished, unique, and produced in very low quantities. The knife pictured may not be the exact one you receive; however, it will match the listed configuration and meet the same high standards of fit and finish.
