Cutlery is for him: a real passion, and a constant evolution in the search for know-how around one of the oldest tools in the world.
He likes: Warncliff and Hawkbill blades. Spyderco's Compression Lock and Benchmade's Axis Lock system. He also likes to take particular care in the choice of handle and type of port. He's a fan of Michael Janich's Martial Blade Concept.
He doesn't like: The huge wave of brand copies and counterfeits. He dislikes the way news stories taint the cutlery industry and, de facto, cutlery enthusiasts.
What he doesn't tell you: That he'd like to have a share of the Spyderco market!
What TK thinks of his Sharp User: Dane is the man who not only knows a thing or two about cutlery, but also knows how to use it! Dane is our personal defense specialist, yet his modesty, curiosity and passion drive him to be constantly on the lookout for new learning.
