How the WaspArmor Blade Born?

Our goal was clear: craft an exceptionally compact and meticulous EDC knife tool.

Beginning our journey last December, we opted for aerospace-grade titanium and carbon fiber as our primary materials. This choice ensures a blend of lightweight strength and durability, laying a sturdy foundation for the knife’s design.

Months of rigorous testing followed, with prototypes subjected to various stress tests. Through iterative design changes, any issues discovered were swiftly addressed, guaranteeing not just visual appeal but also superior functionality in the final product.

Inspired by the sleek form of a wasp, the titanium structure coupled with a carbon fiber grip forms a protective layer akin to armor for the agile body, giving rise to the WaspArmor Blade. Check out the gif below for a closer look at its assembly.

Tiny Yet Mighty

After rigorous testing and refinement, we’ve struck the perfect balance between portability and functionality. At just 57mm in length and weighing a mere 5.6g, our knife is compact and lightweight, fitting seamlessly into your pocket or purse. Despite its size, it’s versatile enough to tackle any task effortlessly.”

-Even Lighter Material

To maximize lightweight performance, we’ve utilized titanium for all metal components of the WaspArmor Blade. Known for its lightweight properties, strength, and corrosion resistance, Gr2 titanium forms the body, while Gr5 titanium constructs the lock piece, ensuring durability and longevity.

Meanwhile, carbon fiber inlays maintain weight balance, enhancing overall maneuverability and convenience. With its lightweight design, the WaspArmor Blade is perfect for everyday carry and outdoor use.

With its generously sized keychain hole, the knife seamlessly attaches to a necklace or keychain for easy access wherever you are. Whether you’re on the move or at home, rest assured it’s always within reach. Plus, the secure attachment minimizes the risk of accidental detachment or loss.

The WaspArmor Blade’s design isn’t just about looks—it’s ergonomically optimized for comfort, control, and stability. Its carefully crafted contours minimize slipping and fatigue, even during extended cutting tasks. With a titanium handle providing sturdy support, it ensures a stable grip, even during delicate operations.
