The Sidekick

Another look at the Sidekick  held in my hand.

This shows the Companion and the Sidekick pattern together.

For an EDC type knife the SideKick is an easier pattern to carry.

Koa wood Companion

Cool pin layouts!!!

Standard Drop Point Companion

Thumb Grooves on this one

 

I can modify the blade shape to fit your needs.  I no longer offer bolsters as an option. It adds weight and a less comfortable grip that hinders long use.

Sidekick

Slimline Companion for those that prefer less tall blades.

Companion with Cherry handle.

Nice pic of companions and sidekick

First Companion with black G10

Cross between a SideKick and Companion size. Wide belly variant also!!

A new knife measuring close to the companion called the "Grimlin".  There are about 3 different sizes of this knife. G 11 scales with liners and blade around 3 1/2" on this one.
