The Shard is an ultra-compact, ultra-fantastic utility knife in just about every way. The reverse tanto Wharncliffe blade has a full-length cutting edge for maximum versatility and the jimping on the thumb ramp is very nice. Dual thumb studs allow for easy flicking and a replaceable lockbar insert makes the lockup perfect right out of the box. The three-finger titanium handle has a slender, ergonomic shape with milling to enhance your hold in a pinch grip. You have a milled titanium clip for secure pocket carry or use as a money clip and an enlarged lanyard slot to round out this excellent design. Dirk has an EDC winner with this one and we think it deserves recognition as a premier daily carry option.
