KNAFS Lulu KNAFS-00251, Black CPM MagnaCut, Green Canvas Micarta, fixed knife

The Knafs Lulu Green Canvas Micarta is a fixed knife designed in Utah and manufactured in the state of Michigan. This knife marks a milestone for Knafs, as it is their very first knife made entirely in the United States. And when we say ‘made entirely in the USA’, we mean even the smallest details, right down to the sticker in the box! This pocket knife is named after a mountain pass in southern Montana.

Knafs Lulu Stonewashed Finish
This is the updated version of the Lulu! Knafs has changed the finish of the blade for better consistency. Instead of the standard PVD finish on the previous model, they have now switched to a stonewashed finish to which the PVD coating is then applied.

CPM MagnaCut steel blade

We know that this knife did not disappoint when Ben tested it in the Colombian rainforest. This is mainly thanks to the steel used: the blade of this bushcraft knife with scandi grind is made of CPM Magnacut steel. This steel type is famous for its superior properties. It offers an excellent level of hardness and incredible sharpness retention. In short: MagnaCut steel makes for a durable and sharp edge. It’s the perfect steel type for demanding tasks. The blade has a ‘stonewashed’ finish. Traces of use will be practically invisible! This finish is made even tougher by the black PVD coating.

Green canvas micarta handle

Micarta is an incredibly strong material that feels great in hand and is also pleasantly light-weight. It is made from canvas and synthetic resin. At first glance the micarta might look a little pale, but after using it, the oils in your hands will make sure the micarta will become darker. It takes over the traces of use, making the knife uniquely yours! The handle is nicely rounded to feel great in hand.

You can even make your own scales for this bushcraft knife! Open-source scales can be downloaded from the Knafs website.

About Knafs

The name Knafs might sound a bit strange. But it is basically a different way of saying ‘knives’. When you mispronounce the word you often hear ‘knifes’. Add a southern accent and ‘knifes’ soon turns into knafs. Hence the name! You might know Ben Petersen, the owner of Knafs, as the designer of the WE Knife Banter and Civivi Baby Banter. And now he also has his own brand. Knafs!
