Big I Design Unveils the Ti Manu
Big I Design, the Tennessee-based “one-stop shop for titanium EDC accessories”, unveiled their newest knife design, the Ti Manu. Designed in collaboration with Ken Onion Jr, son of the Legendary Ken Onion, the Manu retains Big I’s “two screw” design, and is the first time that Big I has worked with an outside designer on one of their knives. Currently available to order through Kickstarter, the Manu features a 3.25” S90v blade with a flat grind modified drop point, Grade 5 Ti scales, and can be configured to use either washers or bearings, a feature not many knives offer. With dual thumbstuds and a reversible pocket clip, the Manu can feel right at home in the pocket of left and right-handed EDC enthusiasts. For more information on the all-new Manu, visit the Kickstarter page.
Leucadia Blade Co’s LandShark
Two California-based knife brands, Pro-tech Knives and Leucadia Blade Co, have teamed up to release an all-new fixed blade design dubbed the LandShark. Crafted from legendary MagnaCut steel, the LandShark features a 3.5” drop point blade, 8” overall length, and weighs in at 4 ounces while offering a unique combination of edge retention, hardness, and corrosion resistance. A deep cut finger choil behind the blade and contoured G10 scales ensure a secure grip, whether you’re in the backcountry or out to sea, both places where a gear failure can have serious consequences. While the initial release of the Founder’s Limited Edition has already sold out, the Landshark will return in force in early March, retailing for $299.
