Dark-mai Angis DARK

Made to be a total contrast to my other work, isntead of clean and sharp lines you get the brute version of Angis, with dents, texture, spots and other relics from the steel making process. Just a raw representation of the material in the shape of Angis.

The knife is made from carbon steel, so it is not stainless.

Philosophy

For a very long time I've had this idea, that there is no good alternative for a folding knife for urban edc. No fix blade is small enough or has a small sheath with a pocket clip that could recreate the experience of a folder while being a fix blade. All alternatives felt clunky and big in the pocket. So I had to come up with my own solution for this problem.

Here comes in Angis (angis is the only venomous snake in Lithuania) the micro ultra light fixed edc blade. The main goal of this knife is urban edc, and the most common task in this scenario is opening packages and piercing duct tape. So I've made a super pointy end, paying tribute to Angis the snake and mimicking its fangs, also the blade shape and flow should remind you of a snake and the paracord on the handle should represent it's reptile skin.

Development and engineering decisions

N690 Austrian made stainless steel is an amazing choice as it is low maintenance being a stainless steel, it has a great balance of toughness and edge retention. It is super easy to sharpen, and you can get it really sharp even if you are a beginner sharpener or a pro.

Together with the blade I have also made a super compact kydex sheath , so it's easy to drop the blade in your pocket and always have it ready to be used.

I've also hand picked some of the most beautiful paracord options available on the market so you can choose and customise the blade to be your own.
