Porcupine – 2025 Christmas Limited Edition
A Holiday Workhorse You'll Really Use
This Christmas, the Porcupine is all dressed up for the holidays. Same ferocious “Rocky Warrior” you already trust—now dressed in a festive red-and-white G10 suit that looks right at home under the tree, by the fire, or riding in your pocket all winter long. This special run is limited to 300 pieces for the 2025 holiday season only.
Holiday G10 Handle with Christmas Tree Artwork
For this edition, we've built a new dual-layer G10 handle: a white G10 base with a red outer layer CNC-cut into a clean, modern Christmas tree motif. It's not paint or print—it's real material and real machining, tough enough for cold garages, snowy driveways, and long nights in the truck. It feels festive without feeling like a toy.
Built for Warm, Real-World Holiday Moments
The Porcupine keeps its secure Top Liner Lock and large thumbhole, so one-handed use stays easy even with cold or gloved hands. It's perfect for trimming a low branch on the tree, snipping the zip-ties off light strings, or popping open another delivery box.
The 2.99" 14C28N blade with a pointy tip and big belly is just right for holiday duty: opening gifts for the kids, slicing into ham or steak at family dinner, or cutting into snack bags during the game. The wide, ergonomic handle still fills the hand and stays comfortable through all of it, from garage projects to late-night cleanup.
You're not buying a gimmick—you're picking up a real working knife with a little extra Christmas spirit.
