The curvature of the blade is what allows the knife to have such a long, useful cutting edge. Furthermore, the matching handle is ergonomic and easy to hold.
Even above the pivot, where the blade meets the handle in a concave sweep, is practical. Place your thumb into that space while your fingers wrap around the handle, and you’ll find it grants you extra leverage.
The Epaulette perfectly exemplifies how style and substance can be brilliantly melded into a unified whole.
Reptilian fortitude
Like so many of We Knife’s recent releases, the Epaulette showcases some pretty exceptional materials.
That curvy blade with its huge thumb hole and flipper deployments is crafted from Böhler M390 steel — one of the current gold standard super steels.
