Description
Specifications
Designed by Ray Laconico
The Kestrel is inspired by a time early on in my career when making folding knives was still new to me. To this day, I draw inspiration from that era when I had limited tooling and relied primarily on design and creativity. I think the Kestrel embodies most what I enjoy about designing and making knives most, to create something fresh and new while maintaining my design language that people easily identify.

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.
