🔥 The Wasp is back — meaner, sharper, and ready to bite. 🔥
Alright folks, it’s that time again. I’m gearing up for a fresh batch of Wasps — the fan favorite — and I’m opening up 10 pre-order spots to kick things off.
I’ve been playing with some new ideas, materials, and colorways that are going to make this run sting a little harder than the last. 🐝
And for those of you with big ol’ mitts who always said the Wasp felt a bit small — I’ve got you covered. An XL version is coming with this batch.
⚔️ For anyone interested: Please specify your desired model — Standard or XL — and message me through my NICKNIFE page or Instagram to reserve your build.
🎁 Bonus: The first two orders received will be personally expedited — perfect if you’re after a killer Christmas gift that actually cuts.

Big thanks to Jim and Yvonne Honeck , they’re the best in the biz. I wanted to have a second hot stamp done, something that was small, yet elegant, and this is exactly that! To anyone looking for custom stamp work, they are second to none and a joy to work with. They will fulfill your vision! 🤙

Pretty happy with the way this little bean came out. The vintage linen micarta paired beautifully with the Damascus pattern. Out the door and off to its owner, enjoy it Pat!
