It might look like your grandpaâ€™s classic WWII knife, but itâ€™s got an impressive secret.

The new Homefront knife is the first in our fleet to feature â€œField Stripâ€ technology. This in-field, no-tool take apart capability lets you purge your most reliable companion of a hard dayâ€™s grime right where you are, without ever returning to your workbench.

The breakthrough â€œField Stripâ€ innovation comes from the shop of world-renowned knife craftsman Ken Onion and has been over ten years in the making. To disassemble the Homefront when the knife is in the closed position, push the front release lever away from the blade, then spin the turn release wheel on the rear of the handle away from the pivot shaftâ€”once you feel the handle release, pull it up and away from the blade. Reassembly is as easy as reversing the procedure, al-lowing for practical, quick maintenance where you stand.

From his shop in Kaneohe, HI, Ken Onion designed the tactically inspired, everyday carry Homefront knife to stay true to its vintage roots. The bayonet lug-style flipper sets off the smooth open action of the 3.5â€ modified drop point blade, while tank jimping on the backstrap sits snugly against your palm.

It stands up to the looks of a WWII heirloom, and it sure as hell stands up to any job it encounters. The handles are made from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum and house an impressively beefy AUS 8 stainless steel blade.

Classic on the outside, impressively futuristic on the inside, the Homefront is about to change everything.

How Field Strip Works

Field Strip Technology lets you easily disassemble your knife for cleaning without tools. To disassemble, close the knife, push the front release lever up. Then spin the rear release wheel clockwise â€”once you feel the handle release, pull it up and away. Handles and blade come apart easily. To bring the knife back together, place the blade and handles into the closed position - press and hold the pivot. Once the pivot is seated correctly, rotate the release wheel counter-clockwise until snug. Push front lever down. The knife is restored to full working order.
