GP2

The GP2 is the GP1 made smaller. Same belly, same drop point, a straighter handle, and about an inch less knife in your hand. It's the one people end up carrying every day. Not because we push it, but because a three and a half inch blade handles nearly everything you actually ask a knife to do: breaking down boxes, trimming rope, cleaning a limit of panfish, cutting an apple on the tailgate, field dressing a deer when the season comes round. The straighter handle sits flatter against the hip, and that's most of why this one disappears on a belt. The sheath rides on a Tech Lock clip, so it goes on and off without threading a belt, and you can shift it around until it sits where you want it. Smaller doesn't mean lighter duty. It's the same steel at the same hardness, and the tang still runs the full length of the handle, so you're giving up reach and nothing else. Carbon steel wants a wipe and a drop of oil when you're done with it. Do that and it greys over into a finish of its own, which most people end up liking better than new. Made one at a time in North Carolina, to order.
