* Please message me directly to confirm what prototypes I have available.*

Meet the Hard Case, our first representation of the perfect EDC knife and sheath combo. This innovative rigid sheath enables you to discretely carry a fixed blade knife, conveniently attached to your phone, void of any compromise. It has a compartment for those extra goodies that you never know where to put and the sound of the locking mechanism is pretty badass too. The Hard Case  helps you simplify your kit and put your edc game on autopilot.


PROTOTYPE RUN:

This limited collection is made up of hand made prototypes, created during the prototyping evolution of the Hard Case. This is an opportunity to snag one of these early for an affordable price, provide feedback, and support the growth of this project at the same time.

 

This is what you need to know, despite these being prototypes, the attention to detail is unjeopardized. There is some variety from one to the next, as these are hand-made and slight design changes have occurred, but this makes each piece unique. We've also been testing a variety of materials that may not be available for purchase again, like knives in Magnacut, or sheaths in rubberized G10 and polycarbonate.

 

With that said, these wouldn't be for sale if they didn't have value. Below will be a list of available prototypes, organized by case materials. Please allow 6 weeks for shipment, as some of these prototypes are partially complete. 

 

Each blade is being paired with a case for optimal fitment, so please check back here in mid February for an update.

Our collection of compact multitools use our proprietary spring-coupling system, named Click-Lock, which enables them to be reliably and discreetly stored in low-volume, conventionally unutilized spaces for an entirely new EDC experience.

 

Click-Lock was born from our desire to organize our pockets and ensure that our favorite tools were easily accessible. To begin this quest we tasked ourselves to optimize the objects we were already carrying because here at Sanctum Brand, we believe that things can always be improved. The Hard Case 1.0 is the first of many applications to come.

 

Here are the details:

- Skeleton fixed-blade knife (available in Magnacut, S35VN, or D2 tool steel)

- Click-Lock coupling mechanism: integrated into the ricasso, zero moving parts for low maintenance and ultra slim-pack capabilities

- Bottle opener on the spine, pry bar and screw driver at the butt, notched grip throughout, angled handle drop, 43 mm blade edge, sharp as shit.

- Sheath material options: flexible resin, rubberized G10, G10, Canvas Micarta. All sanded to a 600 grit finish (minus the 3D printed version). Some textured cases will likely pop up shortly.

When do they ship?

Wave 1 orders will begin shipping in July 2025. Production on the Hard Bar is weeks away from being 100% complete.

Do you ship to me?

We ship world-wide, however please ensure that your local knife laws permit this type of knife. Generally speaking, since this is a fixed blade utility knife, with a blade length of 40mm, most countries should not have issues with this style of pocket knife, however do your own research, as we are not responsible for confiscated items. 

What's the quality like?

We are building this brand for the long haul so you can be confident that we will take care of any manufacturing defects. We have spent over a year selecting our manufacturing partners to ensure our knives will stand the test of time. We stand behind our products and will be there to help with any concerns.

What will I use this small knife for?

The truth is that you don't need a lot of blade to cut stuff. This knife will cut 99% of what you need it to in your day-to-day. Personally speaking, I have used this knife for over 2 years and have used it for everything. The more you carry such a convenient blade, the more use cases seem to pop-up.
