The discontinued Schempp Tuff has become available to us by Ed himself when he visited Plymouth, UK recently with the equally distinguished Matt Diskin.

The Schempp Tuff is one knife that truly lives up to its name. The brainchild of renowned custom knifemaker and design consultant Ed Schempp, it reflects his deep understanding of what it takes to make a tool that is both highly functional and practically indestructible.

Its stout CPM 3V blade is mated to a handle featuring a G-10 scale and stainless liner on one side and a sold titanium scale on the other. An oversized pivot and a Chris Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) with a hardened steel insert ensure superior strength and increased wear resistance, while its dimpled texture and four-position clip provide exceptional grip and ease of carry.
