Similar things could be said for the handle. It’s not flashy but has a solid shape and style, offering a good size and ergonomics to match. Furthermore, while the three holes toward the butt are more for style than anything else, the largest one also doubles as a lanyard attachment point, should you want one.

Praising a knife for its practicality might not sound like a strong endorsement, but it should be. Ultimately, knives are tools, and this one is designed to get the job done right the first time, every time.

Like its styling, this knife’s materials appear to be chosen not for their flair, per se, but for their reliability. In the case of a would-be go-to everyday carry knife you can turn to literally every day, this is a very good thing.

In three of the four configurations (the fourth one being the fancy Damascus version), the blade is crafted from Sandvik 14C28N steel, an old standard in the EDC space. It’s durable, tough, corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain — all essential EDC features.
