The Chickpea was originally designed for the Boy Scouts, we wanted to create a smaller fixed blade that was still large enough to accomplish all of a Scouts tasks in the woods. The design goal was to create a slim and lightweight knife that still gives you a full handle grip and a good amount of cutting edge. When the design became a reality, we quickly realized that not only was this a great knife for the Scouts, but it was also a versatile tool for any outdoors person! 
 
Being one of our oldest models the Chickpea has seen quite a few revisions and updates. The current iteration of the Chickpea  features a Nitro-V stainless steel blade with a saber grind and a blasted finish, making it ideal for harder use tasks. In this version we took a slim knife and made it even slimmer by reducing the G10 or Micarta Handle Scales to ⅛ inch! While this Chickpea retains the great ergonomics of the thicker handle scaled model, it is now even easier to carry and incredibly lightweight! These weigh in at a mere 1.7 or 1.8 ounces depending on handle material! 
 
The Chickpea is a versatile knife that can serve many different roles. The compact profile and slim sheath make it a great choice for everyday carry, the slicey blade makes it an excellent bird and trout knife, lightweight woods knife, or discreet everyday carry.
