Banshee

The Banshee

A warning that gets louder the closer it gets — built for the moments where you need a blade you can trust without thinking twice. 🗡️

The Banshee is a full-size working knife built around a stainless steel that shrugs off moisture and neglect, making it a strong choice for anyone who wants serious carbon-steel-grade performance without babying the blade after every use. Camp chores, field work, everyday cutting tasks — the Banshee is built to be picked up and used, not admired from a display case.

Specifications

• Blade steel: AEB-L stainless steel
• Overall length: 6-5/8"
• Blade length: 2-7/8"
• Handle material: your choice of G10, Micarta, or Custom scales
• Finish: Cerakote — available in Black, Flat Dark Earth, or Gator Green

Care and Maintenance

• Initial preparation: Comes with a protective coat of food-safe mineral oil — wipe with a clean, dry cloth before first use.
• Cleaning: After use, clean with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly and avoid prolonged soaking.
• Rust prevention: AEB-L is a stainless steel and highly corrosion-resistant, but a light wipe of oil after use and before storage keeps it performing at its best long-term.
• Sharpening: Maintain the edge with a medium-to-fine stone or guided system. AEB-L takes a fine, durable edge — use 400–1000 grit for repairs and 3000–8000 grit for finishing. Stropping restores a polished edge between sharpenings.
• Handle care: G10 and Micarta both require minimal upkeep — clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh solvents, and dry thoroughly. A light coat of food-safe mineral oil keeps Micarta looking rich; G10 needs no oiling at all. Chose a Custom handle? Just ask and we'll walk you through care for it.
• Sheath care: Kydex — wash with mild soap and water and dry. A light coat of mineral oil keeps the Kydex looking new and helps prevent rust on the UltiClip.
• Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area, away from sealed plastic environments that can trap moisture.

All of our knives are named for cryptids. In Irish folklore, the banshee — bean sídhe, "woman of the fairy mound" — is a spirit whose wail in the night means someone in the house won't see morning. Families used to listen for her on bad nights the way you'd check a weather radar now. This blade carries her name because it's built to be there on the nights that matter.
