If your head is reeling from the major catalog drops this week, take a break and learn about something a little simpler: the Tauron, latest flipper folder from We Knife family brand Sencut.
Compared to the collaboration-rich catalogs of its two sister labels, the Sencut offerings rely quite a bit more on the creativity of its in-house design crew. They’ve certainly shown themselves to be a flexible bunch, with designs large and small rolling out at a steady clip; Sencut may not have the name recognition of We or Civivi yet, but with this consistent, varied output it’s well on the way to that level.
We called the Tauron “simpler” above, but doesn’t mean boring. Its 3.48-inch blade stands out from the crowd with its exaggerated clip point lineage and pronounced harpoon swedge. It basically screams “slicer,” and given that it is fashioned from hard-workin’ D2 steel, it can slice for a goodly while in between trips to the stones. Deployment is also squared away thanks to both the omnipresent flipper tab and thumb studs on either blade flat.
As a tool situated in the middle size class (albeit at the upper end of that class), the Tauron has a commensurately roomy handle – roomy, but not too bulky, as it maintains a relatively narrow width across its 4.5-inch length. There’s a groove towards the back of the slightly arched handle to help locate the pinky/ring fingers, and our old friends G-10 and Micarta are in the saddle once again – and by “in the saddle,” we mean “on the liners.
