Neil Warren designed the Mamba EDC to be the knife that stays on you. At approximately 2.8" of 80CrV2 on his narrow reverse tanto profile, it is compact enough to disappear on a belt or in a pocket but carries all the design DNA that makes the Mamba family worth paying attention to. The sabre grind with Power Swedge, the narrow cutting-focused blade geometry, and the rock textured G10 scales all carry over from the larger Mamba models. Neil spent two months carrying a prototype before he made another one. That kind of testing is what produces a blade this dialed in at this size.

Specifications

• Blade Length: ~2.8"
• Blade Steel: 80CrV2 Carbon Steel
• Blade Grind: Sabre Grind with Power Swedge
• Blade Style: Reverse Tanto
• Handle Material: Rock Textured G10 (select color)
• Sheath: USA-Made Kydex (Black)
• Country of Origin: Made in USA (Lufkin, Texas)

Small Enough to Forget About. Useful Enough to Reach For.

• Approximately 2.8" of cutting edge covers daily tasks, food prep, cordage, and field work
• Narrow Mamba profile keeps the blade from feeling chunky at this size
• Reverse tanto tip is reinforced and capable despite the compact dimensions

Neil carried a prototype for two months before making more. That is how a working knife gets designed.

Four Color Options

Blue, Black, Tan, and Green G10 scales, all with the same rock texture, all shipped with a black USA-made Kydex sheath.

80CrV2 Carbon Steel

• Exceptional toughness for a blade at this size
• Sharp working edge that holds up under real daily use
• Easy to put a field edge back on with simple sharpening tools

A Note on 80CrV2 Carbon Steel

80CrV2 is a carbon steel, not stainless. It will develop a patina and will rust if neglected. Wipe the blade clean and dry after use and apply a light coat of oil when storing. The toughness and edge performance are the trade-off, and for most hard-use and field carry applications, it is well worth it.
