Artisan Cutlery Trust Thumb Stud & Frame Lock Knife Titanium and Aluminum Handle (3.758'' Stone Wash S35VN Blade) 1886G-GY

Designed by Theo Estevao

Each of my designs is based around two things. The first is how it will change overtime and become someone’s unique version of the knife because of the scratches and patina that it develops. Second, an individual concept for each design. For the Trust, the concept was balance.

I wanted this piece to be symmetrical when closed and look visually balanced when open. It is intentionally slender so that it isn’t taking up all the space in your pocket, but unique enough to inspire curiosity rather than intimidation if you are using it in a public setting.

It is called the Trust because you can depend on it to be there when you need it and be welcome in a space when you do. It is a companion.
