Meet the Hard Case 1.0, our first representation of the perfect EDC knife and sheath combo. This innovative rigid sheath enables you to discretely carry a fixed blade knife, conveniently in your pocket, void of any compromise. It has a compartment for those extra goodies that you never know where to put and the sound of the locking mech is pretty badass too. Slim enough to attach to your cell phone, or just drop it in your bag, the Hard Case 1.0 helps you simplify your kit and carry more.
PROTOTYPE RUN:This limited collection is made up of hand made prototypes, created during the prototyping evolution of the Hard Case 1.0. This is an opportunity to snag one of these early for an affordable price, provide feedback, and support the growth of this project at the same time.
This is what you need to know, despite these being prototypes, the attention to detail is unjeopardized. There is some variety from one to the next, as these are hand-made and slight design changes have occurred, but this makes each piece unique. We've also been testing a variety of materials that may not be available for purchase again, like knives in Magnacut, or sheaths in rubberized G10 and polycarbonate.
With that said, we wouldn't be selling these if they didn't have value. Below will be a list of available prototypes, organized by case materials. Please allow 6 weeks for shipment, as some of these prototypes are partially complete.

Our collection of compact multitools use our proprietary spring-coupling system, named Click-Lock, which enables them to be reliably and discreetly stored in low-volume, conventionally unutilized spaces for an entirely new EDC experience.
Click-Lock was born from our desire to organize our pockets and ensure that our favorite tools were easily accessible. To begin this quest we tasked ourselves to optimize the objects we were already carrying because here at Sanctum Brand, we believe that things can always be improved. The Hard Case 1.0 is the first of many applications to come.
Here are the details:
- Skeleton fixed-blade knife (available in Magnacut, S35VN, or D2 tool steel)
- Click-Lock coupling mechanism: integrated into the ricasso, zero moving parts for low maintenance and ultra slim-pack capabilities
- Bottle opener on the spine, pry bar and screw driver at the butt, notched grip throughout, angled handle drop, 43 mm blade edge, sharp as shit.
- Sheath material options: flexible resin, rubberized G10, G10, Canvas Micarta. All sanded to a 600 grit finish (minus the 3D printed version). Some textured cases will likely pop up shortly.
