BG009 Begg Knives Astio Tan D2 Satin Tanto Blade Tan G10/Stainless Handles IKBS Framelock Clip

Way back in 2018, the original Astio was introduced to fill a void in the Begg Knives lineup for a 3.5" blade tactical folder. Designed by Jared Van Otterloo, this new-age pattern was a breath of fresh air and one of our favorite pieces of the year. For what the Bodega is to the spear point blade - ie perfection - the Astio is to the tanto shape. Its handle is built around the blade, mimicking it to a certain degree and we just adore everything about it. From the looks to the feel, the flipping action to the rugged build quality, it all works on this knife. We wouldn't hesitate to trust our life to the Astio EDC.
