RoseCraft Awanata | Black G10 | D2 Wharncliffe

Small, simple, and wonderfully slicey.

The RoseCraft Awanata is a compact modern slip joint that pairs a classic non-locking mechanism with contemporary materials and a screwed-together construction, all wrapped up in a clean, useful design from Andy Armstrong.

Its 2" D2 Wharncliffe blade gives you a straight cutting edge that's particularly handy for opening packages, detail work, and the everyday cutting jobs that don't require a whole lot of knife. A long pull provides classic nail-nick-style opening, while the brushed satin finish keeps things understated.

The black G10 handle is durable, easy to maintain, and fitted with an integrated lanyard hole. At only 3" closed and 2 ounces, the Awanata is genuinely tiny-pocket friendly without wandering into novelty-knife territory.

No pocket clip. No flipper. No bearings.

Just a neat little modern slip joint that gets the job done.

Why We Like It

The Awanata is one of those knives that makes a pretty convincing argument for not needing quite so much knife all the time.

Two-inch Wharncliffe. D2. G10. Two ounces.

Done.

We also like that RoseCraft didn't try to make a traditional pattern out of it. This is very clearly a modern slip joint—screwed construction, simple lines, modern materials, and six colors because apparently choosing just one wasn't sufficiently troublesome.

Black is the sensible one.

We're sure that'll last.
