The next addition to the Blackside Custom's edged tool lineup: The Americana Covert Fixed Blade!
The next addition to the Blackside Customs edged tools lineup, meet the Americana Covert! The slimmed down slicked out evelution of the original Americana. Think of it as the "sneaky little brother" that hits just as hard but doesn't make a scene about it. At about 20% smaller overall this wicked little knife gives you a low profile, compact blade while still bringing that same no nonsense Blackside performance. Pattenered after the Kimura, Hank over at Blackside Customs did a 180 and outfitted this wicked blade with an aggresive Wharncliffe blade profile making this a very capable blade for both your every day tasks as well as defensive capabilities. The slim handle profile features subtle yet smart profiling and jimping to stay locked in your hand but still be easy to covertly carry. The handle scales are held on with custom hardware. Lanyard hole at the butt end. The Americana Covert really nails the sweet spot of being a small defensive blade that can be easily thrown in the pocket, waistband, or your kit for non-permissive environments. Each one comes with a kydex sheath ready ready to be outfitted with your preferred mounting solution.
The Blade: Wharncliffe blade profile with grooved milling and given a black Cerakote finish.
The Handle: Thin and flat black G10 handle scales with subtle peel ply texturing. Strategic jimping around the handle, and lanyard hole at the butt end. Black hardware.
