Tako

Legacy Build — Precision Crafted

Tako was one of my early knives. I’ve learned a lot since then but this one still holds up! The blade steel is s35VN. I’ve since switched to AEB-L for my kitchen knives as I can get it much thinner and it’s a lot tougher. The handle and saya for Tako are made of Brazilian rosewood. It’s a lovely wood to work with and polishes up to an amazing shine. The octopus design was laser cut at Hacker Lab in Rocklin, California.
