Small Utility · CPM-154
Drop-Point & Burl
A compact full-tang utility fixed blade — the everyday-carry idiom of the Hossom shop pared down to a knife you would actually wear. The hand-rubbed satin drop-point is ground from CPM-154 at .130″ stock, just shy of an inch deep at the belly, with a short sharpening choil and a clean plunge.
The handle is stabilized ironwood burl — warm, figured, and tight to the tang — pinned with a single mosaic pin flanked by brass pin and lanyard tube. It came new from the maker at the 2021 Blade Show and ships in a zippered case.

Georgia · Hossom Knives
Alex Hossom is the son of Georgia custom maker Jerry Hossom, and he makes knives alongside his father under the Hossom name. The shop’s reputation is built on purpose-driven, hard-use edged tools — fighters and field knives carried as much as they are collected — finished to a standard worthy of the cabinet.
The younger Hossom carries that same idiom into smaller, wearable patterns like this utility. Father and son have shown side by side at the Blade Show, and Alex’s own work has found a following among collectors who know the name.
Like father, like son.
