Californian-based knife maker Shan Hassan has created a new custom folding EDC pocket knife which is now available to back via Kickstarter at an affordable price. With pledges starting from $65 or roughly £51. If all goes well worldwide shipping is expected to take place during April 2019.
Features of the Hornet pocket knife include :
– N690 blade steel (Titanium version)
– D2 blade steel (G10 version)
– Ceramic ball-bearings provide smooth thumb hole or flipper deployment
– Chamfered handles
– 3D machined titanium pocket clip provides secure, tip-up carry (version with Titanium handles). The G10 version comes with a stainless steel pocket clip.
– Functional jimping on the thumb ramp for improved grip and control
“The concept for the Hornet started nearly two years ago. The focus was to create an aggressive blade that looked sleek, offered multiple deployment methods, and was also comfortable in the hand during prolonged use. By pledging to this campaign, you will help get the first production run executed and be among the first to own and carry this unique EDC tool. Whether you are just getting into knives or are an avid collector, the Hornet is the perfect companion for your everyday carry needs.”
