Fairgate - Microbatch Editions
Starting at $650.00
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.
This is our homage to the world war 2 Smatchet designed by LT. Col. William Fairbairn, and later enhanced by LT. Col. Rex Applegate. Two of the most dangerous men in the world, that redefined hand to hand combat with firearms, knives, improvised weapons, or even unarmed during world war 2. The Smatchet design is made for combat and utilitarian purposes. From freedom fighter, to outdoorsman, the Fairgate is truly a useful tool
