Inspired by Lewis & Clark and the Corps of Discovery, The Expedition is a 10-inch frontier knife built for the kind of trip where the map might not be finished yet.

Its broad Alabama Buckshot Damascus blade is fitted with warm Antique White Oak scales, Old Glory red, white & blue liners, brass pins and lanyard tube, and our red, white & blue patriotic mosaic pin.

Substantial, handsome and ready to travel, The Expedition comes complete with a hand-stitched top-grain loop and ring leather sheath handmade by Lonnie Hyatt.

Because when Lewis & Clark left St. Louis in 1804, they had thousands of miles ahead of them — rivers, mountains, weather, wilderness and whatever happened to be waiting around the next bend.

When the map is still being drawn, you’d better carry a good blade.
