Description
The Tacti-Boa (1862G-CF)
For those looking for a more discreet carry option, we have you covered as well. The Tacti-Boa takes on a sleek and modern aesthetic with matte black PVD coated scales, blade, and hardware and a contoured Carbon Fiber inlay. This version is perfect when you need your knife to blend in and stay discreet while still being close at hand. Additionally, this version could easily transition from Tactical to classy as a perfect accompaniment to a suit or tuxedo.
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.

5. What kind of packing materials does Artisan Cutlery use?
We are committed to using eco-friendly packing solutions whenever possible. We use air-filled pillow bags that efficiently pack into boxed shipments and reduce the amount of packing material needed for each order. We also use 100 percent biodegradable starch pellets as packing materials. These static-free pellets have the look of old-fashioned plastic packing peanuts but are made to degrade quickly in landfills and are completely petroleum, CFC, and HCFC-free.
