The Diamondback Knifeworks Southern Grind Hornet is a compact folding knife built for everyday carry and field work. With a 3.30" CPM MagnaCut steel blade ground in a sheepsfoot profile and finished with a stonewashed patina, this knife delivers a tough, low-profile edge that handles utility tasks without drawing unnecessary attention. The 4.30" natural micarta handle provides solid grip and control, while the folding design keeps it pocket-ready for hunters, anglers, and anyone who needs a reliable blade without bulk.
CPM MagnaCut is a modern tool steel engineered for edge retention and corrosion resistance—a smart choice for knives that see real work in variable conditions. The sheepsfoot blade shape is practical: a flat cutting edge with a rounded spine that won't puncture accidentally, making it safer to use in close quarters or when wearing gloves. Stonewashing gives the blade a matte, brushed appearance that hides wear and patina buildup, so your knife looks purposeful rather than precious.
Natural micarta is a composite material that feels warm in hand and improves grip when wet or gloved. This handle won't slip in field conditions, and it's durable enough to take abuse without babying. The Hornet strikes the balance between a true working tool and a knife you'll actually carry every day—not oversized, not a toy, just honest steel and handle material sized for real hands doing real tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CPM MagnaCut steel?
CPM MagnaCut is a tool steel developed for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. It's tougher than many stainless steels and holds its edge longer, making it ideal for working knives that see regular use in hunting, fishing, and camp tasks.
Is the sheepsfoot blade safe for field use?
Yes. The sheepsfoot profile features a flat cutting edge with a rounded, blunt spine. This design is inherently safer around yourself and others because the rounded tip won't puncture accidentally—a real advantage when working in close quarters or wearing gloves.
Why choose natural micarta over other handle materials?
Natural micarta is a composite that feels warm in your hand and provides excellent grip when wet or gloved. It's durable, takes abuse without cracking, and improves traction in field conditions—perfect for a knife you'll actually use hard.
What does stonewashed mean?
Stonewashing is a finishing process that gives the blade a matte, brushed appearance. It looks rugged and hides wear, patina buildup, and scratches, so your knife maintains a working appearance rather than showing every mark.
