His signature pieces are the MC and MC Mini, named after his brother. Carson uses GripX because he wants the material to feel different from the usual options:
“I like GripX because it’s different. I’m trying to be different and use steel and handle material that is different from what everyone else uses.”
That is why he stays on our new drops, especially bicolor, the Color Lab and Diamond Edition GripX.
The other through-line is work.
“I make knives for working people and my biggest peeve is slippery knives.”
He typically finishes GripX at 400 grit with our Formula-C hardening wax. Glass blasting is an option when he wants more texture. The result is a handle that looks distinct and stays put in the hand.
