The Ketuo Woody introduces a compact “fifth pocket” EDC built with a clear focus on cutting performance. Designed by Mantis Bladeworks and inspired by the precision and efficiency of the woodpecker, the Woody carries a purposeful identity in a small, highly capable format.
At its core is a finely profiled blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, chosen for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. The blade geometry leans toward a thin, slicey grind, delivering clean, controlled cuts well beyond what its size might suggest. Available in Bead Blast or Black PVD finishes, the blade offers both a clean utilitarian look and a more subdued, tactical option.
The handle is offered across multiple configurations, including G10, PEI, and Micarta, each providing a distinct feel and visual character. Despite its compact footprint, the handle design maintains a secure grip and practical ergonomics for everyday tasks. A 3Cr pocket clip keeps the carry profile minimal and unobtrusive.
A liner lock mechanism ensures reliable lockup, while the ceramic ball bearing pivot delivers smooth, consistent action. The result is a small-format knife that operates with the same precision and confidence as a full-size piece.
Compact, efficient, and purpose-built, the Woody is a true cutter in a fifth pocket form.
