The Arsenal is the first knife that we’re aware of to use an integral handle scale/backspacer inlay for its construction and we imagine it won’t be the last. This Ostap Hel design is a pretty straightforward tanto with a Japanese style tanto point making it a little more useful for daily carry compared to an American tanto shape. The slots in the blade don’t really help when opening, they’re more for weight reduction keeping the overall weight of this tactical design to a minimum. The two titanium frames fit within the integral G10 spacer like a glove and it makes for a dynamic looking and feeling knife. We think Ostap and WE have really outdone themselves here, the Arsenal is a fabulous knife and is definitely worthy of your consideration.
