The M.U.D.D. (Multi-Utility Dirt Defiant) knife is an innovative Grant & Gavin Hawk design. While the MUDD isn't a new knife, it is now being offered as a limited USA-made production run with premium materials and finish. What makes the MUDD stand out from the crowd is the sealed pivot and locking mechanism that "defy" dirt and moisture contaminants from entering the moving parts of the knife. The handle on this knife has carbon fiber scales over white coated titanium liners. It has a black Cerakote finished blade with hollow grinds and notably large thumb studs.
