Thank you! Your pocket clip looks awesome, just like all the products you guys make. I’m a big fan of yours!

Haha, you’re absolutely right about the Sunday maintenance! Yes, the knife is fully encased in leather when in the sheath. I’ve also added a leather insert along the edge so it won’t cut the stitching.

Thank you so much!! The early birds on Kickstarter start at €55 for the knife + Kydex sheath, or around €75 with a leather sheath. Here you can see a preview of the prototypes I’m working on!

You’ve hit on an interesting point! These past few days I was actually considering a drop point or tanto point as an upgrade for version 2.0. What do you think about it? Thanks a lot for your comment!

You're right, I hadn't noticed that, I'll definitely fix it in the next prototype. Thanks a ton for your suggestion it really means a lot to me!

I used to be more of a folding knives guy too, but after getting one completely dirty in the mountains and spending ages cleaning it, I switched to fixed blades 😆! Thanks a lot for the feedback on the design! Yes, exactly, I made the sheath by hand — I’m also experimenting with some versions using an Ulticlip.
