These aren’t merely tools; they are functional tools, created to perform and last generations. At Lee’s Cutlery in Mesa, Arizona we are grateful for the opportunity to carry all of Mike Irie's class products, each a tribute to the skilled craftsmen who helped pave his way.
The Signature of Mike Irie's Craftmanship
What sets a Mike Irie fixed blade knifeapart from the rest? It starts with a dedication to quality materials and an attention-to-detail. And Mike Irie is famous for using high end steels, generally exotic super steels that are prized for their superb edge retention, toughness, and stainless qualities. They have been carefully ground, sharpened, and honed, resulting in a hard, high-performing blade that is not only razor sharp, but also retains its edge very well.
And attention-to-detail isn’t limited to the blade itself for Irie. Handles are ergonomic, so that it feels comfortable and secure in the hand, and can be made with high-end material such as G-10, Micarta, or exotic woods to give them a perfect fit. The blade balance of a Mike Irie knife is what makes it a legend, unbeatable for the most sensitive work indoors and outdoors. This total focus on design and build-quality directly translates to the fact that each Mike Irie fixed blade knife is a piece of functional art.
A Mike Irie fixed blade is more than merely being a tool, it's made to be used. Many of his designs have the characteristic full-tang construction that encapsulates the knife steel in a perfectly fitted handle, with its leather sheath and robust construction. That makes them perfect for a wide variety of activities such as survival, tactical, hunting, camping, or general utility use. You can trust an Irie fixed blade to accompany you time and again in the field or as a professional who won’t shy away from any task.
