The 3" Lockback has been one of Santa Fe Stoneworks’ best-selling designs since the 1980s. Designed by renowned knife designer Phil Gibbs, this historic model combines compact proportions, dependable performance, and timeless style in a pocketknife made for everyday carry. Its engineering has evolved over the decades, but the original concept has not: a refined, reliable knife designed to be used, appreciated, and passed from one generation to the next.

This distinctive version features a precision CNC-machined stainless-steel frame and a copper-and-brass wave-pattern blade with a durable VG-10 stainless-steel core. High-grade highly polished brass bolsters complement the warm tones of the blade, while brass washers support smooth, consistent operation. Its excellent “walk and talk” action produces a crisp snap as the blade locks securely open and returns firmly to the closed position. The blade is digitally precision-ground and finished with a razor-sharp edge.
