*CUSTOM SHOP* SHOAL (MAGNACUT) NATURAL MICARTA W/ OD GREEN MICARTA BLACKOUT

***SMITH & SONS CUSTOM SHOP***

This listing is for one variant from a custom drop of SHOALS, each specially crafted with premium materials and built in-house by our knifemakers. This piece features Natural Canvas Micarta scales w/ slightly recessed OD Green Canvas Micarta inlays. 

*Blackout Forced patina grind, spine, and ricasso.

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.

*NOTE: 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 develope its own look and personality. 

BASE MODEL DESCRIPTION:

The Shoal is back, now built in CPM Magnacut and ready for whatever you put in front of it. Compact, lightweight, and incredibly tough, the Shoal remains a favorite for those who prefer a fixed blade alternative to a folding knife.

Its slim profile and precise edge make it ideal for small game, bird and trout work, and detailed cutting tasks, while its toughness and corrosion resistance ensure it’s just as comfortable riding as an everyday carry. Small enough to disappear, capable enough to handle far more than its size suggests.

This latest version features new handle options along with expanded carry choices. The Shoal is available with a kydex sheath and paracord neck lanyard, or our new leather pocket carry sheath for a clean, low-profile carry option. 

Customize Your Carry:

• Sheath Options:

-Kydex: Streamlined and low-profile. The production version includes adjustable retention and a paracord neck lanyard.

-Leather Pocket Carry Sheath: A clean, low-profile carry option designed specifically for the Shoal. This sheath is crafted from premium leather and features a sturdy pocket clip, allowing you to carry your Shoal 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 the 2 sheath package and save when bundling.

Build Notes:

*Marshgrass Richlite is a striking layered material that blends the look and feel of natural materials with the stability of a manmade composite. One of its defining characteristics is the dramatic variation in pattern from set to set, ranging from subtle grain to bold, heavy marbling. This variation is intentional and part of the manufacturing process designed to maximize visual uniqueness. Please review product photos carefully and understand that each set of scales will have its own distinct appearance.
