Divo Knives Stout - Small Details Review - @LeftyEDC & CM Knife Designs
Published: 2 years ago
Today we're taking a close look at the Stout protoype, the upcoming debut from Divo Knives, aka Kevin (@LeftyEDC) & Colin (@cm_knifedesigns). In fact, we're looking at two! I definitely assumed I would like this knife -- Kev and I have a lot of overlap in our taste, after all -- but I ended up really loving my time with these two, and am really glad I got in on the preorder!
