2021 Knife of the Year
Maker's Reserve
Limited Edition, Individually Handcrafted

The Catch-A-Dream Foundation annually issues a Knife of the Year with a maximum of 50 serially numbered knives in the edition. Each knife is handcrafted and serially numbered by the Maker, with The Catch-A-Dream logo and the Maker's mark permanently electro-etched on the blade. Each serial number is assigned to a collector.

The Maker reserves one (1) unserialized knife from each edition and this year he has generously donated this Maker's Reserve Knife for auction. You are bidding on this one-of-a-kind 2021 Maker's Reserve Knife.

The 15th Limited Edition, Signature Collectible Knife of the Year is meticulously crafted one at a time, and the 2021 Edition, like its predecessors, captures the purity and the practicality of the Catch-A-Dream mission and vision, with a strong emphasis on practicality!

Featuring a Semi-skinner style, this Hunter is made for the field but is just as suited for the collector's case. The Hollow ground blade has a belt-Satin finish and features a graceful top swedge and functional thumb grooves. The handle is crafted from Antique Industrial Grade Micarta salvaged from the old Motorguide Factory in Starkville, MS and diagonally cross-cut to yield the unique grain pattern. Our signature Leaping Trout, made of royal blue G-10, is handlaid in the handle. Black liners and stainless pins combine with a black paracord lanyard and whitetail antler bead to finish this work of art.
