From his shop in Kaneohe, HawaiiI, Ken Onion designed the WWII-inspired everyday carry Homefront™ to stay true to its vintage roots.

The handle is made from lightweight and strong aircraft-grade aluminum and houses a Sandvik 12C27™ steel blade for impressive edge retention. True to its mission as an everyday carry, it comes equipped with a deep-carry clip that allows it to ride low in the pocket.
Classic on the outside, impressively futuristic on the inside, the Homefront™ is about to change everything.
