The Tradition design has been greatly loved by all those who have tested it in daily carry. Long before Very Good Knife Co marked the blades, Jacob was making and developing the Tradition. The down scaled version Tradition Jr is just over 7 inches with .125" stock making it light and compact while still providing a spacious and comfortable handle. The blade closely resembles a Nessmuk style, hollow ground deep and very thin. It is nimble like a folder and about as slicey as it gets. If you are looking for a perfect pocket dropper, look no further.The Tradition Jr is offered in multiple steel, handle, and finish options.
