The Cisco is the fixed blade your everyday carry has been missing.
Designed and handcrafted in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the RDF Cisco is a compact, full-tang EDC knife that moves seamlessly between daily tasks and demanding outdoor use. Whether you're navigating an urban environment or pushing into the backcountry, this is a knife built for real use, not just for looks.
At 7.5 inches overall, the Cisco is light enough for all-day carry and tough enough for hard use on the trail or in camp. Inspired by the resilience of the North American fish it's named after, it's designed to perform day in, day out, and keep performing for decades.
Best for: Everyday carry, utility tasks, hiking, and camp use.
The Cisco is forged from 1084 high-carbon steel, a tough, reliable choice well regarded among bladesmiths for its edge retention and ease of sharpening in the field. Each blade is hand-ground with full flat grinds, etched, and stone-washed for a resilient, low-maintenance finish. Heat-treated in-house using a professional Evenheat kiln and quenched in Parks 50 oil for optimal hardness and toughness. Alternative steels are available on request.
Blade length: 3.5" / 89mm
Spine thickness: 1/8" / 3mm
Finish: Etched and stone-washed
The Cisco handle is crafted from blue Richlite, known for its durability, lightness and warmth.
Weight: 106g
Full tang construction
Includes a leather pocket sheath
