Yeap. It is interesting. They are at almost $300k with at a goal of $25k.
It's well beyond my expectations.
I guess kickstarter is a massive platform.
The fact that Kenji wrote a piece about it doesn't hurt.


However, that kickstarter has a bit of marketing fluff.
It's also a kickstarter which means no guarantee.
The makers have no knife pedigree.



It looks like a good knife. And an ok value compared to the stuff you might find at your local store.

But there is better out there.

There's more I can say about it, but if you really want to know more, just read it from the knife nerds
