The Sheriff Lockback Knife Kit Combo is a USA-designed DIY folding knife platform built for makers who want precision components, dependable performance, and the satisfaction of crafting a fully functional lockback folder. This kit series delivers a compact, traditional pocket knife profile paired with high-quality materials and pre-machined hardwood handle scales that make the build process smooth and rewarding.
At the core of every Sheriff Lockback is a 2.625 inch (2 5/8 inch) flat-ground blade made from premium 440C stainless steel. The blade is satin finished and heat-treated, then cryogenically processed to improve toughness and edge retention for long-term cutting performance. The lockback mechanism provides solid, time-tested blade security in a compact everyday carry size.
Each kit includes all required stainless steel components for assembly, including liners, pins, tubing, pivot, and backspine, ensuring structural strength and consistent fitment throughout the build. Shim stock is also included to allow fine tuning of blade action and lockup during final assembly.
The Sheriff Lockback measures 4.00 inches closed and opens to 7.00 inches overall, offering a balanced profile that feels comfortable in hand while remaining easy to carry. Every version is paired with pre-machined hardwood handle scales that are intentionally oversized and undrilled, giving the maker full control over shaping, finishing, and pin placement for a truly custom result.
Available handle scale options include:
- Curly Maple
- Yellowheart
- Zebrawood
Each wood brings its own distinct visual character—from the rippling figure of Curly Maple, to the bright golden tone of Yellowheart, to the bold striped grain of Zebrawood.
Whether you're building your first folding knife or adding a refined project to your workshop lineup, the Sheriff Lockback Knife Kit Combo delivers a reliable foundation for a custom piece that blends traditional styling with hands-on craftsmanship.
