Our Most Popular EDC Knife
Wicket Series
Small, XL, or the Big Boi? The Wicket Series of knives are extremely adaptable and capable tools for a range of uses. The Original Wicket was intended to be a neck knife, but it has quickly gained popularity in the everyday carry crowd who love pocket sized fixed blades. Then, I sized up the design to get the XL, and later the Big Boi. These knives share the same great ergonomics, but offer more utility for hard use tasks.
Primative Series
Step back from the tech and trends. When you grip a Primitive Wicket’s jute-wrapped handle, it’s like shaking hands with your ancestors. No frills—just a raw, honest, and well made tool that feels right at home in your palm, ready for whatever the wild throws your way.
Can't Decide Which Size You Like?
Wicket Comparison
Each Wicket size variation serves different purpose. The original Wicket is first and foremost a neck knife, secondly a small pocket fixed blade. While the Wicket XL is a much larger, more stout version that is ready to work while still being small enough for comfortable pocket carry. The Big Boi is the biggest knife I make, great for chopping wood day-in-and-day-out.
