Leucadia Blade Co LandShark: 3.5" Blue PVD MagnaCut Fixed Blade, Mahi Mahi GCarta

The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mahi Mahi GCarta Blue PVD is a small fixed blade that Leucadia Blade Co designed and Pro-Tech Knives builds in the USA. It has a 3.5" blue PVD CPM MagnaCut drop point blade, a Mahi Mahi GCarta 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.

Mahi Mahi GCarta is a good fit for a company whose first knives were fillet knives. With the blue PVD blade, it's one of the more colorful knives in the lineup.

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.
