Meet Clyde...
More "folk" than "lore."
More "urban" than "legend."
More "goofus" than "gallant."
Maybe it's our fault that Clyde turned out the way he did. After all, we did name him after our favorite watering hole in Portland, “The Clyde Common”, located at the ACE Hotel in Pearl district. And we did create him as a mix of Scandinavia meets Japan and flirts with the Persians - no good lovechild could come from that….or could it? Well, we surely think so!
Clyde has a slim, pointy and slightly upswept blade in Elmax steel (or “El Max,” as Clyde claims it is pronounced, being that it's named after a semi-famous Lucha libre wrestler from the ´70s). The handle looks smaller than it feels, just like Clyde claims in other matters, and the ergonomics of the knife may surprise you given its simple lines.
This new version in natural canvas Micarta sports thumbstud and backspacer in brass!
We think that Clyde is the perfect EDC knife, and, if you haven’t noticed yet, it has a ton of attitude that will set it apart!
Disclaimer: The brass thumbstud and backspacer on this knife will patina over time and some oxidation may already have occurred while the knife is in the box. We try to eliminate as much plastic from our packaging as possible and the cotton bags we use instead are not airtight. When brass gets in contact with air, oxidation will happen and patina on the metal's surface begins to happen. All in all; if you don’t like patina on your brass thumbstud and backspacer, this may not be the knife for you!
