Minimal, practical, and timeless — this Red Pencil Style Dir Pocket Knife is a compact everyday carry (EDC) knife inspired by the traditional craftsmanship of Dir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Designed for simplicity and utility, it is an ideal choice for daily tasks, light cutting work, and pocket carry.
The knife features a 3-inch carbon steel blade, hand-finished for sharpness and reliability. Its straight, clean blade profile allows precise cutting, making it suitable for everyday utility, light outdoor use, and general household tasks. The 3-inch slim handle, finished in a distinctive red pencil-style design, offers a comfortable grip while maintaining a lightweight and balanced feel.
With a total open length of 6 inches and a compact folded size, this folding knife fits easily into a pocket without bulk. Its understated design makes it a dependable EDC pocket knife for those who value functionality, tradition, and clean aesthetics over excess ornamentation.
Handcrafted by local artisans, each knife reflects the authenticity of traditional Dir knives, making it both a practical tool and a meaningful representation of Pakistani handmade knife heritage.
