My father told me I should always have a knife on me like his father told him.<\/p>\n<p>When I started helping my dad cook in our hotel business, my interest in knives, of course, grew. I ordered a knife from A. G. Russell, the Russell designed Sting boot knife. I was on my way to becoming a knife enthusist.<\/p>\n<p>My Foosa design came about after I talked with Phill Hartsfield back in the late 1980s. Phill was a scholar on Japanese blades, which are pure form and function. Phill made me a small utility knife called a kozuka, and I knew if I could make a folder from this time proven design, it would be a nice folder for EDC.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More information reference:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/knifecenter\/photos\/a.10150254557454153\/10159079172909153\/?type=3\">https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/knifecenter\/photos\/a.10150254557454153\/10159079172909153\/?type=3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weasel and Foosa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Designer Rolf Helbig, who worked with Kizer in the past on the Pinch, gave Kansept this pair of knives. Both the Weasel and the Foosa are flippers with utility-driven profiles. The Weasel has a 3.12-inch drop point blade, while the Foosa has a 3.06-inch tanto and a more Eastern-inspired, angular handle. Both knives weigh 3 oz. each and have 154CM blade steel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23756\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Prickle-with-kiridashi-style-blade.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Prickle-with-kiridashi-style-blade.jpg 296w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Prickle-with-kiridashi-style-blade-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Prickle with kiridashi-style blade<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolf-Helbig-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolf-Helbig-01.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolf-Helbig-01-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolf-Helbig-01-1024x615.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolf-Helbig-01-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolf-Helbig-01-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shieldon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Rolf-Helbig-01-1536x922.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like many boys, back when, I carried a pocket knife.
