Great Eastern Tidioute 1095 - #98 Texas Stogie - Purple Heart Wood

1095 Slipjoint with Purple Heart Wood Handles

The Tidioute 1095 is a traditional American pocket knife designed for collectors and users who appreciate vintage craftsmanship. Great Eastern Cutlery builds this model with classic slipjoint construction, dual blades, and premium materials for a timeless everyday carry.

Blade

Two satin-finished 1095 carbon steel blades: a 3.70" clip point and a pen blade. 1095 is a high-carbon steel known for excellent edge retention and sharpness, though it requires regular maintenance to prevent surface rust. The clip point excels at controlled cutting tasks, while the pen blade is ideal for fine detail work.

Handle

Purple heart wood scales give the knife a rich, smooth appearance. Purple heart is a dense hardwood known for its deep purple color and durability. At 4oz, it carries lighter than many traditional folders.

Carry

Non-locking slipjoint with nail nick openers. The clip point blade has moderate point acuity and good piercing ability, while the pen blade is excellent for detail work. Closed length is 4.875", fitting comfortably in a pocket.
