The Gentleman’s Companion DIY Knife Kit Series is a compact, full tang platform designed for makers who value precision, versatility, and hands-on craftsmanship. Built around a 440C stainless steel blade, this design delivers a balanced blend of utility and refinement—equally suited for skinner duties, everyday carry builds, or discreet neck and boot knife configurations.
With its clean profile, controlled blade length, and customizable handle options, the Gentleman’s Companion gives knife makers the freedom to create everything from a rugged working tool to a highly polished showpiece. Whether you prefer raw handle construction or pre-machined exotic woods, each variation offers a distinct building experience while maintaining the same trusted core geometry.
Across the series, builders will find options ranging from minimal “blade-only” starter kits to fully equipped combo sets featuring bolsters, pins, and premium hardwood handle materials. Every configuration is designed to support a smooth, rewarding build process with professional-level results.
At just 6.50 inches overall with a 2.75-inch cryo-treated 440C blade, this platform delivers excellent control, strength, and portability. A pre-drilled thong hole adds optional lanyard capability, while stainless steel bolsters and precision pin stock (on select models) ensure a tight, durable assembly.
The Gentleman’s Companion Series is built for makers who want a dependable foundation with endless customization potential. From shop bench to field carry, every variation delivers a satisfying build and a knife that feels personal, purposeful, and built to last.
