Daily Steel

Carry something worth knowing about.

You're here because you like knives. You stay because it's nice to talk about them as part of an everyday, civilized life. Dusty green micarta, stonewashed steel, inlaid badges, brass accents, and quiet capability. Sophistication not snobbery. Zero tactical considerations were made in the creation of this website.

what's in your pocket.

Our current top 5

GiantMouse ACE Biblio (Micarta)
Italian-made, Ansø + Voxnaes. The micarta version wears better every day. Currently the knife we reach for most.
~$195
Spyderco Urban SlipIt
M398 in a 2.49" slip joint. Goes everywhere, bothers nobody, holds an edge embarrassingly well for what it is.
~$100
GEO Knife Belluf
M390, 2.4", short and stocky. Keeps ending up in our pocket for reasons we're still working out.
~$90
Vosteed Vombat Fixed
AEB-L, 3.16", denim micarta. Yue Dong's folder translated into a fixed blade and it's a damn good one.
~$65
Kizer Drop Bear Zero
Elmax or M390, button liner lock. The Drop Bear platform at its most badass.
~$120–130
