We knew going in that AC1 was going to be expensive to build. It is highly engineered, produced in small batches, and American made.

AC1 was not designed to be the cheapest pocket fixed blade. It was designed to be the peak version of one — a complete knife-and-scabbard system built for people who value performance, engineering, aesthetics, and experience.

The reaction has been consistent: once people pick up AC1, they don’t want to put it down. We believe you’ll feel the same. If not, send it back in unused condition.
