The Pocket Anchor is the smallest and most resilient Artifact yet, forged with the principle of Grounded Utility above all else. Its creation was an exercise in functional geometry: a shorter, highly versatile blade balanced by a longer, solid handle. This deliberate design ensures maximum control and safety, making it the perfect everyday helper. This knife embodies the principle: True strength is found in a solid foundation.
Integrity of Materials & Form
Blade Material: Reclaimed from an authentic, high-carbon steel hoof rasp (approx. 1\% carbon). Its compact size allows for meticulous shaping, delivering a razor-sharp, durable edge perfect for continuous small tasks.
Handle: Crafted from the same sturdy material as The Oak Keeper (Oak) providing a reliable, comfortable grip. Its length is optimized to give a superior handhold despite the knife's smaller profile.
The Anchor Upgrade: For the first time, the handle is not only secured with solid rivets but is also permanently set with high-strength epoxy. This dual-bond ensures the handle is impervious to moisture and stress, delivering maximum durability and reflecting the principle: Longevity is the true measure of worth.
The Mark: The residual rasp teeth offer a beautiful, dark texture, ensuring this blade is immediately recognized as a tool of integrity and purpose.
The Value: More Than a Knife
This is the sovereign's daily companion—a tool built to be handy, reliable, and fundamentally unbreakable. Its unique blade-to-handle ratio provides the security of a large tool in a compact form, ready for all tasks from the workshop to the field.
Owning The Pocket Anchor is owning a piece of resilient craftsmanship, a constant reminder that the most valuable asset you own is a tool you can rely on completely.
Purpose: Everyday utility (EDC), fine detail cutting, small-scale chopping, and general handy field work.
Note: Due to the high-carbon content, this blade will develop a unique patina over time—a sign of its continuous, honest use.
🧼 Care and Longevity Instructions
These Artifacts are forged from high-carbon steel—not stainless steel. High-carbon steel holds a superior, long-lasting edge and is far easier to sharpen, which is why we choose it for tools built for honest work.
However, this material requires care: The blade will rust if left wet. To ensure the longevity of your Artifact, always clean the blade immediately after use, dry it thoroughly, and never wash it in a dishwasher (which will quickly destroy the handle and the blade). When storing the knife for long periods, apply a light coat of food-grade oil (like mineral oil or olive oil) to the blade to protect it.
