The Frontier First is the smallest knife in the Battle Horse Knives lineup DLT stocks: 2.375 inches of flat ground O1 at 5.5625 inches overall and 2.5 ounces, a full tang fixed blade sized for the pocket knife jobs people actually do every day. Ten of the thirteen knives in this run are individually numbered one of ones, five in elk antler and five in stabilized maple, alongside matte micarta in natural, green, and black.
What the spec sheet misses is the grind work. Owners who have put calipers on theirs found the spine distally tapered from 3mm at the handle to about a millimeter near the tip, running roughly half a millimeter behind the edge, which is why a knife this small arrives shaving sharp and slices far above its size. It is the fixed blade for people who love the permanence of full tang steel but live most days in town: packages, food prep, whittling on the porch, the same everyday work the Bushbaby covers with a half inch more blade if you want it. The leather sheath rides a belt or clips to a pack. Handmade in Cambridge, Ohio.
