Description
Leucadia Blade Co LandShark: 3.5" Black DLC MagnaCut Fixed Blade, Mexican Blanket GCarta
The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mexican Blanket GCarta 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 Mexican Blanket 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.
Mexican Blanket is the colorway a lot of people picture when they think of Leucadia. Paired with a black DLC blade, the striped GCarta pops even more than it does on the stonewash version.
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 Mexican Blanket GCarta Black DLC?
The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mexican Blanket GCarta 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 Mexican Blanket GCarta Black DLC?
The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mexican Blanket GCarta 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 Mexican Blanket GCarta Black DLC have?
The Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mexican Blanket GCarta Black DLC has a Mexican Blanket GCarta handle. GCarta is made by layering colored fabric and resin, then pressing it into a solid block. It doesn't mind getting wet, it stays grippy, and the layers are what give it the pattern. Leucadia shapes the handle to lock into your hand when it's wet or cold.
Who makes the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mexican Blanket GCarta Black DLC?
Leucadia Blade Co designed the Leucadia Blade Co LandShark Mexican Blanket GCarta Black DLC, and Pro-Tech Knives makes it in the USA.
