Catch a glimpse of the latest Justin Lundquist production design, coming out this time via Bestech. The Vestige delivers a thoroughly modern vision of some very classic traditional knife tropes, and is one of the biggest designs yet from Lundquist to boot.
Although it’s hard to believe that it has already been SEVEN years since Lundquist’s first collaboration, the Kizer Feist, debuted. That was a little knife that made a big splash, with its ultra-clean design and appealing profile – not to mention the front flipper: the Feist may well have inaugurated the first wave of enthusiasm for that particular deployment method in the production scene, and Lundquist followed it up with other front flippers before eventually expanding his range to all sorts of knives, big and small, front flipper and non.
I really like that inset on the handle. I agree with the author of this piece. Seems like Lundquist and the Feist should not have been around as long as they have been. I have been hearing good things from makers on the experience of working with Bestech. One positive side to the plethora of Chinese companies, is that the ones who are more difficult to deal with, or don’t treat the designers with the appropriate respect, or don’t live up to the production agreements, are no longer the only option. More companies means more options to work with, and healthy competition results.
