Published: 1 year ago
Hollly crap this is a wild knife! And V2 is an upgrade all around! Today we're checking out four different iterations across three different generations of an absolutely incredible knife: the Mini Opiate by Black Snow Customs, exclusively available through Cut Fine Knives. Black Snow Customs (Israeli knife maker Nati Amor) is a powerhouse in the custom knife scene, and this Reate-made production version of one of his most iconic designs translates that epic style to a much more attainable (and pocketable) version, now in its second generation. There's small details galore and lots of little upgrades from the first batch, so this is going to be a fun one to watch!
