Americana - Microbatch Editions
Starting at $325.00
Microbatches – Limited Runs, Maximum Precision
At Blackside Customs, we produce select knives, tools, and gear in micro batches — extremely small runs crafted with the same uncompromising attention to detail as our one-off projects. Each Microbatch is intentionally limited, often produced in up to two-digit runs.
Unlike mass-produced gear, micro batches allow us to explore new designs, materials, and finishes while maintaining our standard of precision craftsmanship. These small runs give collectors and enthusiasts a chance to own something rare and distinctive, without sacrificing functionality or performance.
Microbatches are typically released only once or twice a year, making every drop a special opportunity to secure a piece of Blackside Customs history.
The Americana is our first Wharncliffe blade. Named after the Jiu Jitsu submission shoulder lock. Opposite of our Kimura, the Wharncliffe design is extremely pointy and has a pure straight cutting edge, following the tip. This knife is designed for the individual that needs a little bit more than a discreet carry knife. Still easy to conceal, this handle configuration offers a more fulfilling grip.
Specs are for production models. Microbatch specs will vary.
