Due to such a high demand for custom knives, and wanting to provide as many people as possible with the best cutting performance that money can buy, I have put together a small, light weight, minimalist design that will give you the best cutting performance for a price all can afford.
The Genesis I is built with CTS-XHP Alloy carpenters’ steel, a newer steel which due to its high cost is not used often by other knife makers.
It is finished with with a stone wash finish and has a hardness of 60 HRC. This pre-order knife come with the black index sheath.
“If you would have asked me a week ago, two days ago, before I received it, if I would have ever considered wearing or using a neck knife I would have thought you were insane, I thought that they were gimpy, I thought that they were silly, I thought it was something I had absolutely no interest in…
What I found is that I really like it. Many reasons. It is so light and so thin that I didn’t know it was there until I needed it. It really shined working on the treehouse because I can’t get access to my pockets because I got a toolbelt on, got a big winter coat, it is really cold out. . .well use the neck knife… It was always there when I couldn’t get at my other knife. It’s absolutely beautiful… I’m a fan, I really like it. The way it fits my hand. Absolutely a near perfect blade shape.”

Best Knife Ever!
This is by far the sharpest knife I have ever owned. That along with its ease of access as a neck knife to me, makes it the best knife ever. It feels great in your hand and is very light. I don\’t leave the house without it. Although I do use my Genesis on a daily basis for regular everyday tasks such as cutting open bales of straw, or opening 50 lb bags of chicken feed, my Genesis truly shined at a major automobile accident I witnessed a few days ago.. There was a woman inside one of the cars. I was able to get the door open and had to cut the side airbag out of the way to get to her. I was quickly able to get to my neck knife and cut the airbag to remove it and attend to the woman who was severely injured. If I didn\’t have my neck knife on me, I probably would have ended up fumbling to get my Leatherman out of the belt pouch and opening it to get to the blade. It definitely would NOT have been as sharp but would have done the job… eventually.
Thank you Patrick for making such a high quality tool.

Major success as a Christmas gift for my son who opened it as soon as he received it. He\’s like that. He took it to work, wears it around his neck and raves about it. He is so pleased with it he almost giggles about it. Thank you for the high quality and the elegant design. Furthermore, thank you for the joint effort with Jessica, aka Dixie, for your 2018 knife offer. Great idea. We will get another one when they are available. My brother needs one.

I received this knife three years ago as a Birthday present and to this day it’s my favorite knife. The blade came incredibly sharp. I wear it and use it regularly and in three years I’ve sharpened it twice. I was shocked on how well the steal took a new edge and is so easy to maintain with an occasional stropping. The steal is also really corrosion resistant, I’ve worn this blade for countless miles of trail running and never had any rust issues despite buckets of sweat. If you all looking for an ultra light weight neck knife I can’t imagine there is a finer one out there.

I got this as a Christmas present to use went backpacking and I absolutely love it! It is extremely sharp so I will be able to cut through everything I need to. I love the way I can release it from its sheath with one hand. This is functional and beautiful. It is a great tool and I will wear in on all of my adventures. I also like that I can have it visible around my neck as a deterrent or hide it under my hiking shirt. Best of all, I will always know where it is.

Excellent neck knife for Thru-Hiking! Don’t leave home without it. A+

Very impress with all of the detail put into this. First, the knife is balanced and structured so that it’s just what I need functionally. The integration with the sheath is perfect on my knife. What is the icing on the cake was the attention to safety the way it was packaged with the para-cord to force you to slow down and use the cord to unsheath the k ice. As a Wemt, the included steri strips were also a reminder safety first!

I received this knife as a gift and was thoroughly impressed when I used it to harvest my first deer of the ‘21 season. I’ve used quite a few knives and this one was by far the best quality and kept its edge even after harvest. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I was able to cut through the hide with virtually no applied pressure. 10/10
