Liong Mah has a Kickstarter success on his hands with the SFD, or Small Field Duty. The SFD is a 2026 refresh of a popular LMD piece, with a new lock and a proven, popular blade steel registering among the changes.
The Field Duty model has been a part of Mah’s offerings since 2019, when it debuted in its original, full-size form. Mah has always enjoyed larger blades and the first Field Duty dropped with an impressive 3.75-inch drop point. In 2020, he returned to the design to create a smaller sequel, the Field Duty EDC, which scaled the blade back to 3.5 inches. Mah tells us he has been working on this particular version for some time now. “We went through a few design changes,” he says. ” This is the second prototype after some refinements and weight reductions from the first.”
I like Liong Ma. Haven’t crossed paths with him in a while. I still think his Kitchen Utility Folder is the best folding kitchen knife out there.
