The Square Tube Knife by Koss Workshop boasts a minimalist design. It is crafted from W1-7 high carbon steel and sits within an aluminum tubing. The tubing is finely finished to remove any sharp edges. Koss Workshop's Square Tube Knife is handcrafted and styled like a katana. While it boasts similarities in design to its counterpart knife, the Square Tube Knife measures only 223mm when sheathed.
Moreover, the aluminum outer casing forms the knife's handle and its sheath, thereby creating a two-part design that becomes one singular monolithic form when it is closed. The meticulously crafted tool is elegant and highly expressive of its quality manufacturing, boasting smooth edges. The Square Tube Knife is available via Etsy.
