HARNDS designs the HK2024 Eggplant, which is a compact full-tang knife that is supported by a neat sheepsfoot blade. It appears to be any regular knife but it is designed with intricate details led by the hole that runs through the middle of the knife. It is wide enough for users to slip their fingers through and when the knife is not in use, it is also a fidget toy to spin around.
The EDC knife measures only 5.3 inches and the blade clocks at a smaller 2-3 inches. The rest of the design is grippy with an ergonomic structure to fit into the hand comfortably. Notably, it also has an ambidextrous handle for both right and left hand use.
