01
Vosteed Porcupine TiSlim (S90V)

M390 steel, crossbar lock, swappable SAS scales. Yue's most customizable design yet.
$139
03
Kizer Wharning
Johan Jordaan. S45VN wharncliffe. Button liner lock. 3.4" of controlled, deliberate slice.
$125
04

S35VN, clutch lock, brown paper micarta. Ben Petersen's most beautiful knife yet.

Artisan Cleo (Titanium)
CPM-S90V, button lock, sand polish wharncliffe. A super steel in titanium at $150 is still a mild scandal.
