About The Back Door

The Back Door is where perfectly good knives with imperfect stories live.

This is where you’ll find discontinued models, cosmetic quirks, returns, prototypes, and one-off situations that don’t fit the main shop. Nothing here has a functional problem.

Every knife in The Back Door is fully disclosed, honestly described, and priced accordingly. Inventory is limited, unpredictable, and first come, first served.

You can always get lucky in The Back Door.

 


 

 

About the Dreadeye

The Dreadeye was a compact fixed blade from Tactile Knife Co., designed as a purpose-built, American-made utility blade with clean lines and practical ergonomics. While the design itself was well received, the grinding challenges associated with the blade ultimately made it unsustainable for continued production.

What remains is a knife that still delivers the same performance, materials, and USA-made quality Tactile Knife Co. is known for, just with visible grind inconsistencies that prevented it from meeting full production standards.

Why You’ll Want It

Discontinued American-made knives rarely surface in quantity, especially directly from the maker. This is an opportunity to own a real piece of Tactile Knife Co. history at a reduced price, while still getting a fully functional fixed blade built in the United States.

Supporting knives made here supports continued domestic manufacturing. If you want a hard-use fixed blade with a real backstory and genuine scarcity, the Dreadeye belongs on your belt or in your collection.

Good looking shoe.
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Cognac
It's a good looking should which is true to size. Quality is good. However, it is not leather. Inner and outer covering are man made. For me, it's okay. I ordered a 9W which I knew would be no more than a triple E width. I'm actually a quadruple E width so it's taking a little longer to break in. I won't be using these as often as at this stage of my life, I don't have that have functions that require dressier shoes. I'm happy with this purchase, a good value for the price. The slip in feature works well like my Sketcher slip in.

Great price great shoe
Size: 12, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Excellent shoe. Tried the Sebago penny loafer and the sizing was ridiculous. These J and M are sized perfectly. I’ve had them before and they wear like iron. Very comfortable right out of the box.

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.
