PKW Wharnetac CPM20cv hollow grind titanium handle

Hi my name is Daniel Hozen and this is my first knife design called the Wharnetac.The reason I came up with this design was because I work in a electronic components warehouse all day inspecting inbound orders, verifying everything shipped in is correct and it involves opening boxes, cutting them down and pretty much opening random packages all day and I always wanted a full sized wharnecliffe folder with great ergonomics and great cutting performance that I could depend on all day every day. This is how I came about designing the Wharnetac. It’s been thru a couple redesigns and I’ve worked with some people in the knife community figuring out what works best for everyone and implemented all those ideas into my design.
