Every man needs an EDC knife, but if you’re looking for an ordinary knife, the JHO Knives Blanka won’t be up your alley.

JHO has once again produced a knife that’s as attractive as it is practical. The Blanka’s genius is in its versatile design. A fixed, full-tang blade and a small but surprisingly comfortable handle allow exceptional control and strength you won’t find in a folding knife. The Blanka’s blade profile is a little different from that of most fixed-blade pocket knives; it is a cross between a tanto and a cleaver, bringing you more cutting area for slicing, skinning, or scraping.

The perfect length of paracord loops around a finger to give you even more blade control, and a brilliantly designed G10 handle is short but surprisingly weighty and comfortable in hand. The Blanka measures 13 centimeters (blade 7.5cm) and weighs 97 grams. The smooth leather sheath easily slides down a pocket for comfortable carrying.
