Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Sometimes it's the last one we forget about.

Lil’ Betsy closes out the Inaugural Nine with a little reminder that celebrating America doesn't always have to be terribly serious.

At just 4 inches overall, she's tied with Lil’ Patriot as the smallest knife in the original nine — a tiny Woody handmade Personal Knife with an outsized amount of personality.

Lil’ Betsy features an Alabama Damascus blade, Python Micarta handle, brass hardware, Old Glory Red, White & Blue liners, and a patriotic Red, White & Blue mosaic pin.

Each comes with a handmade top-grain leather sheath by Lonnie Hyatt Leatherworks of Salem, South Carolina.

Nine knives started this whole crazy Bi-and-a-Half idea.

And lastly, in honor of the pursuit of happiness, Lil’ Betsy reminds us to smile.

One of 250 knives. 50 states. 1 nation.

Every America 250 • Bi-and-a-Half knife is made to order, one at a time, just for you. No two will be exactly alike — and we wouldn't have it any other way. Please give me and the boys in the Woody Shop up to 60 days to make yours. It may not take that long, but we certainly appreciate the time.

And by the way, the one pictured here started this story. Yours will carry it on, faithfully following the original pattern.
