Margol Knives Fray
The Fray is an ultra-compact fixed blade by independent artisan Mike Margol of Hesperia, Michigan—designed for minimalists, backup blade carriers, and everyday users who demand serious capability in a genuinely pocketable package. This compact knife features a 2.6-inch 80CrV2 blade at 0.09 inches thick with an acid stonewashed finish, delivering exceptional toughness and edge retention in the lightest possible profile. At 6.75 inches overall and just 3.59 ounces, the Fray proves light enough to disappear in any pocket while remaining substantial enough to handle camp tasks, field work, or everyday cutting needs—the right size for those who truly understand minimal carry.
The rock textured layered G-10 handle paired with a rock textured spine provides confident grip and distinctive aesthetics developed through Mike's custom hand-crafted scale work. The acid stonewashed 80CrV2 blade develops distinctive patina through use while remaining easy to sharpen and highly responsive to stropping. The minimal profile keeps this knife genuinely pocketable without sacrifice. The included kydex sheath with integrated UltiClip enables flexible carry positioning and seamless integration into everyday systems. Mike's independent artisan approach means every detail receives personal attention—from custom textured handle scale crafting to handmade sheath construction. This is minimalist design refined to its essence.
