“Roark's take on the venerable Japanese higonokami, this is a sleek, no-nonsense minimalist design
Steel's a stainless Chinese version of the stuff used in Spydercos; a tough blade that came pretty sharp. The black box was a cool touch
Like most knives with a liner lock design, it takes a bit of a knack to open. It's worth noting that I can still manage it one handed, with a partially paralyzed hand
The belt clip makes it an excellent choice for EDC. I don't leave home without it!”
“Beyond cool that Roark's designed their own take on the venerable Japanese higonokami.
It's a classic, simple construction, compared to a modern EDC but I've had Taka's Blade clipped to my belt for a few weeks now and it's proven to be every bit as handy as the trusty Spyderco I normally carry.
I'd like to mention that in spite of a spinal cord injury, I can still open this knife with my weakened right hand. It's a bit stiff, but with a locking mechanism of this type it's perfectly normal and to be expected.
All in all, a very very nice piece for the price!”

“Unfortunately, the Taka’s Blade arrived with a bent point and the overall quality was disappointing. Worse, the lock is not dependable and fails to lock on occasion making it dangerous to use.”

“I love this knife. Perfect for EDC. My only issue is the tip came bent. Not a deal breaker but I wish I got a new blade when I paid for it. I’d still buy another. I’m sure this one slipped through q/c.”
