Overview
Design by Dirk Pinkerton
Description
The Tacit flipper from ArtisanCutlery was designed by Dirk Pinkerton and it's absolutely awesome. It has an undeniably tactical American tanto blade shape but its relatively compact size allows it to shine as an EDC knife as well. This notion is further supported by the extremely thin handle profile which allows it to carry easily and makes the grip extremely ergonomic. And then there's the flipping action. Riding on ceramic bearings, it's as smooth as glass and locks up nice and snugly with a replaceable lockbar insert. If you want an EDC knife with a tactical look and affinity for CQC should the need arise, the Tacit is a wonderful choice.
