Leucadia Blade Co LandShark: 3.5" Black DLC MagnaCut Fixed Blade, Kelp Bed CamoCarbon
The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC is a small fixed blade that Leucadia Blade Co designed and Pro-Tech Knives builds in the USA. It has a 3.5" black DLC CPM MagnaCut drop point blade, a Kelp Bed CamoCarbon handle, and a deep finger choil right behind the edge. It's 8" overall and weighs about 4 oz, so it carries more like a big folder than a camp knife.
Kelp Bed CamoCarbon suits a brand whose founders spent years freediving and spearfishing off Southern California. The black DLC blade keeps the look dark and low-key, and like all CamoCarbon, no two handles are patterned the same.
Leucadia is a family business out of Encinitas, California, best known for fillet and kitchen knives. The LandShark is their take on an everyday fixed blade: thin enough to slice well, with a .125" spine that can still handle camp chores, breaking down boxes, or cleaning a few fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the blade length of the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC?
The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC has a 3.5" blade and is 8" long overall. The spine is .125" thick, which is on the thin side for a fixed blade and helps it slice cleanly.
What steel is used in the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC?
The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC uses CPM MagnaCut, hardened to 63–64 HRC. MagnaCut was designed by metallurgist Larrin Thomas to be tough, hold an edge well, and resist rust better than most knife steels, and Leucadia heat treats it using the protocol he developed. DLC stands for diamond-like carbon. It's a very hard, thin coating that gives the blade a low-glare black look and adds some scratch and corrosion resistance on top of the steel.
What handle material does the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC have?
The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC has a Kelp Bed CamoCarbon handle. Leucadia shapes it to lock into your hand when it's wet or cold, and the finger choil gives you a safe place to choke up for detail work.
What is CamoCarbon?
CamoCarbon is a very high quality, USA-made camouflage-pattern material produced from aerospace-grade carbon fiber. It's made under high heat and vacuum pressure, resulting in a tough, strong fabrication material — and every sheet's pattern is unique, so no two knives share the same camo carbon fiber pattern. The Kelp Bed CamoCarbon handle on the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC is genuine CamoCarbon.
Who makes the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Kelp Bed CamoCarbon Black DLC?
