What happens when a professional tattoo artist starts making knives by hand? You get Grant's Grinds.

Jason Grant of Brass Brigade spent years as a tattoo artist before turning his hand skills toward knife making. The freehand precision that tattooing demands translates directly to the grind bench, and Jason uses it differently than most. Every J-KAL Texas Pocket Bowie is hollow ground entirely by hand. No CNC. No routers. Everything done freehand in Southern California by a maker who treats each knife the way a tattoo artist treats a canvas.

The J-KAL Texas Pocket Bowie takes the J-KAL V3 as its starting point and gives it a life of its own through the Bowie blade shape, a design exclusive to Lone Star Knife and Supply. CPM-154 at roughly .135" thick, hollow ground freehand to a 2.75" Bowie profile. Full tang construction. 6.625" overall. Ships with a fitted Kydex sheath with deep carry pocket clip and a T20 Torx bit for hardware. Made in Southern California, USA.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The Carbon Fiber J-KAL Texas Pocket Bowie is the premium version of this batch. Black CF scales, upgraded Ulticlip, and a matching black lanyard bead make this the fully dressed version. Jason Grant ground this blade freehand the same way he would approach a tattoo, with no template and no machine doing the work. That is what makes it an LSKS exclusive worth owning.

About Brass Brigade

Jason Grant is the maker behind Brass Brigade, operating out of Southern California. Before he made knives, Jason was a professional tattoo artist, and the hand skills that career demands, the ability to work freehand with precision at a small scale, translated directly into knife making. Jason grinds everything by hand. No CNC. No routers. Every hollow grind on every Brass Brigade knife is done freehand, a technique so rare in modern knife production that Jason calls it Grant's Grinds. The J-KAL Texas Pocket Bowie is a Lone Star Knife and Supply exclusive design, built on the J-KAL V3 platform with a Bowie blade shape created specifically for this collaboration.
