Overview

The HMS Royal Navy Dreadnought was a revolutionary battleship of the early 1900s.  The design was so well done that all battleships built after her were considered Dreadnoughts.  This ship's design and massive power helped change the landscape of both World War 1 and World War 2.  
 

Sticking with the nautical theme from his North Carolina coastal roots, Nicholas Nichols 2nd folder design is perfectly named Dreadnought.  This folder has every improved feature we wanted with a stunning Magnacut Modified Sheepsfoot blade.  The detent is moved further up for smoother closing action.  The pocket clip sits higher for a deeper carry, and the flipper tab is slightly shortened.  The Dreadnought can be easily flicked open on the lock side by using the fuller or flipped beautifully with the flipper tab.   The action is insane, and with Nic's signature wicked sharp blade, this knife is exactly what we've all been waiting for.

It's time to set sail with a Dreadnought because it's clear skies ahead. 

Teak from USS NC Battleship Inlay with anodized titanium pivot and tip up clip.

About the Maker

Nichols, Nicholas

My name is Nicholas Nichols but you can call me Nic. I live in southeastern North Carolina with my beautiful wife Amanda and our three children - Keller, Tucker, and Iris. I am a member of the NC Custom Knifemaker's Guild and was a contestant on Forged in Fire - Japanese Ono (Season 7, Episode 33) Most recently, my Battleship Teak Large Chef's Knife won the Our State Magazine 2020 Made in NC Award for the Home & Garden category. My interest in metal arts first began when I discovered my great-great-grandfather was a blacksmith in Columbus County near my hometown of Leland, NC. After spending some time learning about ornamental metalwork, I happened upon a gentleman who introduced me to knifemaking. I quickly realized I had found my passion and began learning from other knifemakers including a master bladesmith. ​ In my former life as a chef, trained at Johnson & Wales, I learned that high-quality ingredients are the foundation for great meals. The same applies to high-quality materials and great knives. One of the greatest materials I have the privilege to work with is reclaimed teak decking and steel from the hull of the USS NC Battleship (BB-55). The most decorated battleship of World War II is permanently docked on the Cape Fear River just over a mile from my home and it is my honor to work with these and many other specialty materials.
