Bona Fide Everyday Carry Folding Knife
In the realm of everyday carry knives, few stand as a testament to both heritage and modern innovation like the Bona Fide. Crafted by world-renowned designer Ken Onion, this knife pays homage to his adopted home of Hawaii. The design subtly mimics the traditional Hawaiian wa'a, or canoe, capturing not just form but function.
The standout feature here is its Field Strip Gen II technology. This allows for tool-free disassembly, making maintenance straightforward and ensuring your blade remains in peak condition regardless of how often it's used.
Opening this knife is an exercise in smooth efficiency thanks to the IKBS ball bearing pivot system. You'll find that deploying the D2 steel blade—a material chosen for its superior edge retention—is both fast and reliable with just a flick from its flipper mechanism.
The handle deserves mention too; crafted from aluminum, it strikes a balance between strength and lightweight convenience. This ensures that carrying doesn't become cumbersome over extended periods.
For those who value discretion without sacrificing accessibility, the deep carry clip keeps your knife low-profile when pocketed yet ready at hand when needed.
