The Original Woody’s infatuation with Old Slithery Mr. No-Shoulders continues to inspire! Now that our last batch of Black Jack Racers and Black Jack Reds have all but sold out, Woody No. 2 and the boys down in the shop have been busy, once again, working on the next big Ophidian Idea. Snaky, Snaky, Snaky. This time they decided to get real creative with an old Woody standard, The Max. So, you might say, this is the Ophidain to the MAX! And for inspiration they explored all the beautiful places our Snaky Friends might abide. In the grass, under the fauna, in the thickets and brambles, under the rocks, logs and driftwood, in the canyons, crooks, crannies and crevices. All those earthy places an Ophidian might call home.
To kick off this next Ophidian Small Batch, Woody and the guys made three prototypes of 11 exquisitely, beautiful handle versions. And they all turned out extra special! So much so, that we are thinking each and every one may be a keeper! But for now we are offering these 33 prototypes - first come first served! Get one before they are gone.

Yep! We’re still getting snaky with it. And this time we’re seeing red! Just like Woody’s mom Hortense when her serpent-loving husband started that King Snake Farm in the house, forcing her too evacuate and move in with her sister down the road! True Story - you can read it at the bottom! Not sure if the Original Woody ever had any Scarlet King Snakes, but it’s in his and Hortense’s honor Woody #2 is making another batch of his sleek looking little fillet knives. Check out those Hot Red liners! These are available in a sizzling Autumn Flame Curly Maple and a hand-aged Smoked Amber Curly Maple. Each finish is a Limited Edition Small Batch of thirty-five. With a blade of 1/16 gauge Swedish AEB-L surgical stainless steel and an overall length of 9.5 inches, we think you’ll agree that these would be some hot little additions to your Woody collection.

Woody is excited to add the NEW BlackJack Reds to the Ophidian Small Batch line up! These are available now in two Curly Maple finishes, Autumn Flame and Smoked Amber. Also available in our Black Micarta with Racer Red liners. Our Ophidian Serpentine Back Maple with red liners is coming soon. The Ophidain series was created in honor of our founder Frank's (the current Woody) father; The Original Woody. The Elder Woody was a self-proclaimed herpetologist. He liked snakes. Look it up, or scroll on down and read the story. It's true!
With its snaky-looking handle scales, sleek profile, and precision slicing ability, the Black Jack Racer Fillet is destined to become a tried and true kitchen companion or a trusty friend around the lake and stream. The BlackJack is a lightweight and versatile general purpose Fillet knife. With an overall length of 9.5”, and 4.75 oz weight, it's 5.25” blade of Swedish AEB-L surgical stainless steel is slow to dull and easy to sharpen. The BlackJack Racer will make sleek and speedy work of your filleting needs.
Woody is making these in small batches. We've sold out of out Serpentine Black Maple and Racer Green liners finish and there are a few Black Micarta and Green Liners left. BUT we just released 20 Black Micarta with Racer Red liners and there are 20 of the Serpentine Black Maple with Red on the way.

TRUE STORY: The Original Woody was a bona fide, farm-educated, self-proclaimed herpetologist. That's a fancy name for someone who is really smart when it comes to knowing about snakes. And all things snake-like. Old Woody was a snaky kind of guy. And quite industrious too. As a matter of fact, the Original Woody once had the bright idea of raising a bounteous and self-propagating supply of his favorite snake, the King Snake, and selling them as a Cash Crop. He called the enterprise Old Woody's Rodent Control Apparatus Supply Co. It never really had time to catch on with the neighboring farmers; mainly due to 40 fine specimens getting loose in the house, forcing Woody's wife Hortence to vacate the premises and move in with her sister a little ways down the road. To our recollection only 32 were re-captured and promptly set free down by the river. We aren't quite sure when Hortence returned home. We just know she eventually did. The OPHIDIAN Series is in honor of Old Woody.
(And Hortence)
