Fairfield Knife Works Elk Ridge
The Elk Ridge is a handcrafted outdoor fixed blade from Fairfield Knife Works—designed by Matt Harbuck for hunters, hikers, and outdoor professionals who demand genuine capability paired with high-visibility reliability. This knife features a 3-inch Nitro-V blade at 0.135 inches thick, delivering exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance for camp work, game processing, and field tasks. At 7.25 inches overall and 4.02 ounces, the Elk Ridge balances capable cutting performance with genuine portability—the right size for day trips, backup blade duty, or those who refuse to sacrifice performance for lightweight carry.
The Nitro-V steel maintains excellent edge retention through demanding field use while remaining responsive to sharpening when far from home. The Dayglow G-10 handle provides exceptional visibility and tactile grip in wet or dry conditions, making this knife easy to locate in brush or emergency situations while developing character through extended use. 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 orange Kydex sheath provides secure carry and complements the high-visibility handle aesthetic. This is genuine artisan work: an outdoor knife designed by someone who understands that serious field work demands tools worthy of the effort you put in.
