Small but formidable, the Iron & Resin x Messermeister Field + Flame Utility Knife is built for cooks who live deliberately and roam freely. Featuring a compact 4.5" hollow-ground blade forged from razor-sharp Nitro-B steel, it delivers the finesse of a paring knife with the cutting power of a larger blade. Inspired by Messermeister’s Overland Chef line and infused with Iron & Resin’s California Craftsman spirit, this limited-edition knife is equally at home fireside or on the cutting board. A swept edge, subtle blade offset, and cambered handle create exceptional balance and comfort, making it the knife you’ll reach for instinctively. Designed for the field, forged for the flame—this is utility, elevated.

Little brother

"I already own the 8” overland chef camp knife which I rate a 5 star for heavy kitchen duty. I like that so much that I bought the 4. 5” version to use as a camp knife and to occasionally carry on my belt, but I have not had a chance to put it through its paces. Time will tell, it is obviously well made, good balanced, has a substantial blade and an attractive color scheme. The leather belt sheath is a great design but the leather is too thin and feels like cardboard so it doesn’t match the quality of the knife, for that I’m deducting one star."

Perfect knife for camping!

"Very stout. Sharp out of the box. Will make a nice addition to my collection"
