The Mini Ridgeback brings a modified harpoon blade style to Brandon Williams' handmade lineup. The harpoon profile features a pronounced false edge along the spine that sweeps toward a reinforced tip, giving the blade visual depth and additional geometry for penetrating cuts. At 3.25" blade and approximately 6.75" overall, the Mini Ridgeback sits at the compact end of the 4B Outdoors lineup and carries with almost no footprint. 1095 high carbon steel, convex grind, full tang. Each knife ships with a signed PR photo from Brandon.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The harpoon profile on the Mini Ridgeback is a genuinely different look from the rest of the 4B lineup. The false edge along the spine adds geometry that makes the blade look and perform differently than a standard drop point. Compact, handmade, and signed. A strong carry knife from a maker who knows what he's doing.

Handle Options

  • G10, moisture-resistant and impact-tough synthetic handle. Ships with a Blue Kydex sheath, scout carry.
  • Wood, natural handle material that varies by piece. Ships with a Tan Kydex sheath, scout carry.

Why You'll Want It

The Mini Ridgeback is the compact option in this batch with a blade profile that stands apart from a standard drop point. Modified harpoon geometry, convex ground 1095, and a scout carry Kydex sheath from a Forged in Fire Champion. Carry it and use it.

A Note on 1095 High Carbon Steel

1095 is a carbon steel, not stainless. After use, wipe the blade clean and dry. For storage, apply a thin coat of blade wax or camellia oil to the flat of the blade. Renaissance Wax and purpose-made blade wax products both work well. Thirty seconds of maintenance keeps 1095 performing well for years. In humid conditions without care, surface rust will develop. The steel is worth the habit.

Extraordinarily Helpful - A total game changer
Format: Kindle
I read this book at the recommendation of my son's school counselor. It was a total eye opener and will greatly impact and change the way I raise my son going forward. This book could have easily been titled, "The way I used to parent" because it is so accurate down to so many details as it describes my parenting techniques and motivations. I have made many changes already and my son doesn't quite understand who I am anymore. I'm certain that he appreciates the changes although he's a bit disoriented currently, but I know he will be better off in the long run. I wish there were more anecdotes or perhaps several role playing scenarios added to help offer more suggestions on how to handle more situations but the book was extremely helpful and insightful regardless. Most of the anecdotes I saw play out in our family or with other students from my son's school within hours or days of reading the book. It was amazing.

Good book for parents
Format: Hardcover
A good review for parents to keep as they struggle, but as reviewer noted a bit oversimplified. I bought after had listened to a panel on Forum discussed screen time. As a grandparent, sitting with my wife each on our I pads, I recall eating at restaurants when you look an see so many n smart gadgets texting, tweeting selfing and wonder where the talk is. I did post a photo of a wee grandchild playing while tv playing and three other in room were on their gadgets. The discussion was good. No answers. But, the discusses all recommend Lahey's book. In a period when helicopter parents strive for kids and overpower them, success comes without self motivation, and absent of failing , or at least the skills needed to overcome failure, grit and resilience and desire. Good to,learn early that they are part of a community and tasks are performed not for bribes or pay, but part of all pulling together. She spends a few pages on bullying and how to deal with it. Certainly for sandbox or recess in early years letting kids figure out how to work together through squabbles and fights is good. How do we handle the issues when kids get older? Teddy Roosevelt said learn to box. Sometimes really big kids pummel the weak. Stepping in may be needed. Bullying which now is felt a larger part of school with snubbing, nasty notes, cliques causes no bodily harm, but is part of life. Dealing with it Is a difficult task for teachers and parents. I applaud the new generation of teachers and parents who work as teams. A quarter century ago the moms at our kids elementary school were called the mafia moms. No prisoners. I recall an episode when well dressed ladies said whatever the vogue n radon gas wrong, ..they knew cause they could read and they didn't have to learn what their kids were saddled with and the new math, now very old, was wrong. Maybe now teachers and parents can complain together about the evil core, or how much time the teachers should spend prepping for a test.

Good tips, though possibly over-obvious to some...
Format: Kindle
if you're prone to be a helicopter parent. If you're not, then I would say read it anyway so you can see where other parents might be approaching parenting. It pretty much fits in with other parenting books I've read such as "How Children Succeed" by Paul Tough, and "Grit" by Angela Duckworth. As with any parenting book, how useful you find it depends on what you're already doing. One of the examples that the author uses in the book is that of a kid forgetting his/her lunch at home. If you "rescue" the kid by driving his lunch to school, then there's no motivation for him to remember it in the future. Got it! When I was a kid and I forgot my lunch at home, I was not then able to concentrate at school for fear of my mother's reaction when I got home. She needed to "teach me a lesson" by shaming me for forgetting it, cussing me out, turning it into a moral issue, and giving me the silent treatment for several days. When that's the consequence for forgetting a lunch, then going hungry for a day seems trivial. In fact, it would be less stressful to simply declare that I'm no longer bringing lunch to school anymore so that I can't possibly forget it again, and protect myself from a bipolar parent's mood swings. But some parents can't even let their kids go hungry for the day, even though suffering the consequence's of one's behavior doesn't even feel like punishment. If you had a parent like mine, you would hardly need to read this book, and yet I would recommend it so you can understand what other people's parents are doing. My kid is 2 now. I pretty much let him learn from experience, although I outright ban dangerous and unhygienic behaviors. This book pretty much reinforces my approach anyway.

We love El Tummy Time!
Format: Board book
The bright colors and pictures are so fun, and the thick board book material makes it durable. Our big kids love to name the animals while baby does tummy time so it’s great to get multiple kids involved.
