Product Description
-------------------
Since starting derco we've been told our knives are
different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond
established industry barriers allowed us to introduce new
and Radical innovations to the culture including: one-hand
opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a to a
pocket. We didn't go into business to rake in a ain of dough
we're here for more selfish Reasons- indulging our passion for
creating knives. derco is definitely out of the norm in the
industry in our dedication to researching and developing
fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function
and reliability being key. Someone once said to sal glesser,
derco's owner, "you must design in the dark because your
knives look so strange." true again. Our recognizable appearance
is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than
applying lipstick and nylons to a pocket. We may look
curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or
undependable. Making knives that consistently deliver reliable
high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing.
