Fairfield Knife Works Cantwell
The Cantwell is a handcrafted outdoor fixed blade from Fairfield Knife Works—designed by Matt Harbuck for hunters, field professionals, and camp enthusiasts who demand commanding capability for serious backcountry work. This knife features a 4.4-inch 80CrV2 Tanto blade delivering exceptional toughness and reliable edge retention for camp chores, game processing, and demanding field tasks. At 8.9 inches overall and 5.68 ounces, the Cantwell balances substantial cutting performance with genuine portability—the right size for those who understand that serious camp work demands capable tools built to last through years of use.
The 80CrV2 carbon steel proves legendary for its ability to accept a field-expedient edge while remaining easy to sharpen and highly responsive to stropping—serious cutting steel that rewards extended use. The sculpted red and black G-10 handle provides confident grip in wet or dry conditions while developing character through extended use and handling. Every knife is hand-created by Matt in his home shop with personal attention to fit, finish, and balance—each blade becoming a unique tool reflecting individual craftsmanship. The included Kydex sheath provides secure carry and protection. This is genuine artisan work: a camp knife designed by someone who understands that serious backcountry work demands tools worthy of the effort you put in.
