This blade, in its original form, first was made as an all silver-toned, honey of a knife. The artistry and the flowing lines give beauty and elegance to one that is essentially a cleaver in small form. Louis Krudo designs and engineers his knives to be something you can be proud to carry every day. DAO Black is no exception. The black carbon fiber, black blade, black pocket clip, and spacer will blend into any situation, anytime.
