2021 Knife of the Year

2021 Knife of the Year

Limited Edition, Individually Handcrafted, Serially Numbered

The Catch-A-Dream Foundation is pleased to introduce the eighth edition of the Next Generation Series of collector knives. Like all preceding Knife of the Year editions, a maximum of 50 serially numbered knives are made. 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.

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.
