Compact, tough, and built with purpose, the Gater Knife Kit is a USA-made full tang platform designed for makers who want a dependable everyday carry or utility blade they can fully customize. With a balanced profile, clean cutting geometry, and strong construction, the Gater is an ideal foundation for personal carry builds, workshop tools, or custom gift knives.
Engineered for control and versatility, the Gater features a 3.13-inch blade paired with a 7.50-inch overall length, giving it an efficient, carry-friendly footprint without sacrificing cutting performance. The hollow-ground blade design delivers smooth slicing action and precise tip control, making it equally capable in EDC tasks, shop use, or field applications.
The full tang construction includes three large 0.375-inch through-holes, allowing for flexible handle design, weight reduction, or lanyard integration. Builders can easily adapt the tang for custom pinstock or threaded fastener systems, making this platform highly adaptable to a wide range of handle styles and skill levels.
This series is offered in two distinct material configurations, allowing builders to choose between rugged high-carbon performance or premium Damascus aesthetics.
The Gater Knife Kit is built for makers who want a compact platform that performs without compromise. Whether you choose the rugged simplicity of high-carbon steel or the striking character of Damascus, this series delivers a solid foundation for a knife that is meant to be used, carried, and trusted.
