The Dako is my first knife design. This project kicked off in 2023, and it's been a cool journey seeing it go from sketch to something real. I wanted a design that felt purposeful, straightforward, and easy to carry.

This version features copper carbon fiber paired with titanium, which gives it a unique, slightly warmer look without straying from that minimalist vibe. The hardware (pivot, screws, clip, and backspacer) are all black-coated for a clean, unified finish. It’s a subtle twist on the original that still stays true to the core of the design.
