Tiktaalik Launches Kickstarter Campaign for New Field Knife Set
Portland, Oregon based Tiktaalik recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for their new Field Knife Set, saying:
"The Field Knife Set was born out of a desire to evolve, simplify and distill the traditional cooking knife into a tool equally appropriate for indoor and outdoor use without compromising on performance or quality.
The Field Knife Set consists of a 3.5” pairing knife, a 6” serrated knife, and a 6” Chef’s knife made from Sandvik 12C27 Swedish Stainless Steel. Sandvik is a Swedish steel manufacturer founded in 1862 who has been perfecting this specific steel, originally intended for surgical blades, for over 45 years."
