Building the Boa: a Collaboration with Triple Stripe Knives

The Boa exemplifies Shaw’s design esthetic with an appearance that draws the eye to some key details; the oversized thumb hole that allows for easy deployment with a flick from the thumb or the middle finger, the subtle indents on the scales that form a comfortable grip on the slim handle, the distinctive small harpoon point on the blade that creates a perfect resting place for the thumb while using the knife, and the prominent front flipper that allows for exceptionally snappy deployment while being angled in a way that does not disrupt the design flow. This has been one Artisan Cutlery’s most ambitions projects to date and we are so happy to get this functional masterpiece into the hands of our customers soon!
