Some places never really leave you.

The Enoree River winds through the South Carolina Upstate — part of the country Frank Bridwell has called home for most of his life. It isn't a famous battlefield or the setting of some grand moment in American history. And that's precisely why The Enoree belongs in the Inaugural Nine.

Because America isn't only the places written about in history books. It's the creeks, rivers, backroads and patches of woods that become part of who we are.

At just 5-5/8 inches overall, The Enoree is a compact Woody handmade Personal Carry — small enough to disappear on your belt, but built like a real working knife. It features an Alabama Damascus blade, Python Micarta handle, brass hardware, Old Glory Red, White & Blue liners, and Frank's signature Woody “W” pin.

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

The Enoree is Frank's little piece of home — made to carry wherever yours might be.

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.
