The piñon was designed and prototyped by Max Wenerstrom during a stay at Ranchlands Chico basin ranch where he got to see first hand day to day work on a ranch, from branding calves to changing dirt bike inter tubes every ranch hand needs a sharp companion

Max hand forges each blade he makes exclusively using Hitachi White/ 410 stainless steel San Mai purchased straight from Japan, giving each knife superior edge retention yet remaining easy to sharpen. At only 6.75” overall length, the classic slim profile makes for a convenient, lightweight everyday carry knife with a versatile 3” cutting edge, enough length to stand up to most chores in the field, camp or around the house. Paired with a “snag-free” teardrop handle and lanyard for easy indexing and fast cutting, imperative in the high stakes situations encountered on a ranch.
