Banzelcroft MEK - Vintage Butterscotch Linen Micarta

Stainless Steel Fixed Blade with Micarta Handles

The Banzelcroft MEK is a compact utility fixed blade built for everyday carry, made by hand in small batches for collectors and users who want something practical and pocketable. This vintage butterscotch linen micarta version gives each piece its own subtle color variation.

Blade

The 2.5" utility blade is made from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to rust and ease of maintenance in a small everyday carry knife. The utility grind keeps the edge simple and effective for opening mail, breaking down boxes, and other light cutting tasks.

Handle

The handle is vintage butterscotch linen micarta, a material made by compressing layers of linen cloth with resin under heat and pressure. It produces a durable, grippy handle with warm, honey-toned coloring that darkens slightly with age and handling. At just 1.55oz, the whole knife carries almost unnoticed.

Carry

A leather sheath is included, sized for neck carry, pocket carry, or tucked into a bag. There is no lock mechanism since this is a fixed blade - the full tang construction keeps the knife simple and strong for its size.

Made in the USA.
