The sweeping, slender trailing point blade brings that maritime pattern to mind, but the compound grind screams modern user – as does the steel, 14C28N stainless, entry-level stuff that still manages to find favor with the enthusiasts thanks to its balanced, reasonable characteristics.
Ostap’s designs are everywhere. Kinda crazy that this and the Civivi Purr are both his designs this year.
