The Jared Van Otterloo Small Sheepsfoot Slipjoint Knife is a modern masterpiece that combines classic elegance with contemporary design, making it a perfect addition to your fifth-pocket collection. Its unique and sturdy profile distinguishes it from traditional pocket knives, highlighting Jared Van Otterloo's exceptional design skills and aesthetic flair. The knife features a sheepsfoot blade that is slightly under 2.5 inches long, offering ease of use while incorporating half-stop safety features for added security. This blade length also ensures compliance with various regulations for both locking and non-locking blades. The handle, inspired by the thickness of a tactical folder or an ADV Slipjoint, is particularly noteworthy for its solid feel and ergonomic design, which allows for easy retrieval from your pocket, including the coin compartment of jeans. This slipjoint knife is surprisingly easy to carry, often making you forget it's there, thanks to its superior performance and aesthetic appeal compared to standard non-locking folders. The smooth operation of the knife, often described as 'buttery soft,' improves with use, making it a prime example of how practical tools can evolve through innovative craftsmanship and attention to detail.
