Building The Boa-The Rustic Boa

The Rustic Boa (1862G-ODG)

A little Micarta adds a fantastic grippy texture and stylish look to any tool. We’ve decided to inlay the Rustic Boa with premium American-Made green canvas Micarta to add that distinctive feeling to the scales of this knife. The Micarta on the Rustic Boa will wear in and develop its own character over time making this model something that becomes more and more personal over time.

About the Designer: Johnathan Shaw

As a 17-year-old Canadian knifemaker, Johnathan Shaw is the youngest designer on the Artisan Team. From a very young age Johnathan had a keen interest in knives and tools. When this interest crossed paths with working with his hands, a brand-new fixation was formed: knifemaking. At age 14 he took a headlong dive into the craft and dedicated himself to creating the best knives he could. This lasted for just three years, as Johnathan recently closed his shop to begin a career in the Canadian Armed Forces as an Engineer Officer. While he is currently no longer able to make knives, he plans to return after university and start again. Until then, Johnathan will continue to work with companies like Artisan Cutlery to bring his designs to market.
