Description
WEK240241: WE24024-1 Gavko Epaulette Folding Knife - Black
WE Knife Company
Named after the epaulette shark - a unique long-tailed species known for its striking markings reminiscent of military epaulettes and its ability to "walk" across the ocean floor - the Epaulette is a testament to adaptability and precision. This Gavko design produced by WE Knife Co. draws inspiration from the custom Spinner model while standing apart with its distinct blade shape. Labeled a reverse tanto by WE, the blade resembles a clip point in form and function, offering ample belly and a generous thumb slot for versatility. The pistol grip handle ensures a natural, ergonomic hold, positioning the cutting edge at an optimal angle for slicing and roll cuts. Diamond texturing enhances grip and comfort, making the Epaulette a well-rounded choice for those seeking a high-performance everyday carry.

High quality knife with very functional blade
The knife fits in your pocket like it's smaller than it is but performs well for it's size. Blade came sharp and the shape is highly functional. Opening and lockup is quality. Fits the hand well and comfortably. The black stonewash with gold accents looks very nice. Impressive for its size.
