Our latest addition to the Beckwith series, the Beckwith GL (Goldilocks) is not too small, not too big -- it's just right. Small enough to comfortably carry in the pocket, but with a larger (than the Covert) grip and a larger 3.4 inch blade, the Beckwith GL is for those who have medium to XL hands and want more blade to hit those switches and timers.
This USA-made compact fixed blade is designed expressly for defensive daily carry. Its slim, discreet-carry low profile and modern swedged, tanto blade with aggressively jimped thumb ramp make it excel at both deep-cut slashing and stabbing. The textured G-10 scales provide grippy grip and the flat profile allows for intuitive no-look edge-indexing. The positive rear quillon provides indexed, reliable and fast draw.
The Beckwith GL can be carried in the pocket with a centerline DCC clip pocket sheath, or with the Beckwith GL Multi-mode sheath set up to carry mounted on molle, scout carry, IWB carry or "Samurai" style.
Batch 001 of the Beckwith GL features DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating on the blade. DLC is the ultimate upgrade for a knife blade — a nanoscale layer of carbon atoms arranged with near-diamond hardness, bonded directly to the steel. It laughs at corrosion, shrugs off scratches, and reduces friction so dramatically that nothing wants to stick. Tough, sleek, and borderline space-age.
The Beckwith GL is produced in batches. For more on how our batches work, click here.
