Ever since I was a kid, I have had a deep fascination with the tools that help build entire worlds. As a boyscout, knives were always sold to us as a tool to be thoughtfully handled and well looked after. They had the potential for danger, and needed to be used wiesely.
I remember going up to the local Ace store in my hometown to look at the Case brand knife display, and now we’re proud to have a Solid Brass 420 SS pressed sharpened blade with our logo engraved at the helm.
Inscribed with our brand slogan Venture Onward on one side, with a friendly reminder on the other..”May all that I do, and all that I say, be used for the good and never dismay.” A lessen to the younger child in me, and hopefully to the holders out there, that the tools we wield are not always used to build, but can be mishandled and become tools of destruction.Featuring a kickback knife, a catch latch, and a full length blade, this is a Mercator knife.
Mercator K55K was a pocket knife invented in 1867 and is still very much in production today. Normally with a cat on one side, and a K55K stamping - paying homage to its original roots. The Mercator is an often found original piece among many collectors, including ourselves. Many soldiers brought these back home from World War II during which time they gained a lot of popularity for the multi-purpose solid construction. We wanted to harken back to its roots, while keeping true to our own vision.

Customer Reviews
My husband has went through many cheap pocket knives in his life and recently made a comment about wanting a good one that will last. The inscription sold me as my husband is celebrating 2 years of sobriety and a fitness journey that transformed his life. It's a good size, a good weight and seems to be good quality. I considered gifting him a challenge coin but I love that this knife offers words of encouragement (similar to a challenge coin) but is functional as well. overall a great product.
I purchased this as a heritage gift for my son’s 8th birthday, he wanted nothing!… except a pocket knife, being his first time asking for something that carries a need for any sort of responsibility. Facing and crushing challenges is his self proclaimed calling. His asking was him wanting to prove his readiness, I stumbled across the honor and faith knives… but then My eyes grazed across the skull and the engraved motto. timeless, simple and solid design! Worth it! The $30 for quick shipping had me sweating Didn’t realize it was coming from AU but once it hit customs the 3 day shipping went into effect
This is a well-made and beautiful knife. I would highly recommend!!
I have this knife in my bag and I use it so often! The blade is of good quality, I've never had to sharpen it before, and the engraving is super cool!
The handle develops a patina with use, making the knife even more beautiful!
