About Your Knife

Why is it called the FAT PP?

Yes, you now have a FAT PP in your pants. It actually stands for Folding Action Tanto - Pants Pocket. We just happened to like the acronym! It’s purpose-built to give that tiny 5th pocket on your jeans a real reason to exist.

What are the exact specifications of the knife?

The FAT PP is designed to be sleek, snag-free, and ultra-compact. Here is exactly what you are carrying:

Is this the newest version of the FAT PP?

If you're reading this, you are holding our 3rd generation design! We refined this model to meet our strict EDC standards. Upgrades include CNC-milled chamfers, precision jimping on the spine for maximum grip control, custom flat screws for a flush appearance, and upgraded phosphor bronze washers with a redesigned frame lock. The new "S/L" mark is now featured on the front face, with the FPP logo moved to the back.

Maintenance & Care

How do I sharpen my FAT PP?

You should be able to sharpen the FAT PP knife just like you would with any other knife. Sharpening steels and blocks work especially well. Some sharpening jigs may be difficult to use since the FAT PP's blade is so compact.

Warning: Sharpen carefully to avoid rounding the point between the primary and secondary edges of the Tanto blade shape.

Can I take my FAT PP apart for cleaning and maintenance?

Yes, of course! Sometimes it's a good idea to do the occasional deep clean to get rid of all of the accumulated pocket lint and dirt. Assembly and disassembly are extremely straightforward.

Hardware Specs: The main pivot screw uses a T-9 torx bit and the two rear scale screws use a T-6 torx bit.

Pro-Tip: When reassembling, we recommend using a dab of Blue Loctite on all the screw threads to keep them secure during use.

How do I properly clean my FAT PP?

We advise using mineral oil or an eraser to remove stains from the high carbon stainless steel blade. Cotton swabs and paper towels soaked with IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) will help remove unwanted debris on other parts of the knife.

We also highly recommend using a viscous lubricant on the pivot and along the detent path of the blade to ensure the phosphor bronze washers maintain their smooth deployment.

What is the warranty policy?

Your FAT PP is backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty. We guarantee it for a lifetime against defects in material and workmanship. We also offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee—if you aren't thrilled within your first 14 days, reach out to our support team.
