We are closing our doors. 

It's been a fun ride serving the EDC community over the last couple years. Our origins go back to my college days on Reddit and (under a different name) we expanded to operating as an official Spyderco dealer in late 2024. In May 2025, we signed on to be a Spyderco Direct dealer, but since we were online only, we were not added to the dealer locator. Over our existence, we've had our ups and downs, including the departure of my partner, leaving me to operate as a solo-preneur for a while. We planned to use this new name for a while, but with the changes to the knife world and my own life, it seems as good of a time as any to wind things down.

While knives have been practically my whole identity and passion for the last five years, I have recently come to terms with the reality that I am one person and can't do it all. I am also still in my early 20's with a full time job (unrelated field) and am frankly not equipped with the skills, wisdom, time, or capital to make this operation sustainable. 

I've had some of the best memories of my life thanks to this business/hobby/addiction. I've spent all of my vacation days this year travelling to knife related events and it was a magical experience to meet the people behind the brands and to meet many of you. I just love that the knife world is driven by the passionate pursuit of perfection, among both manufacturers and enthusiast customers.

It is truly hard for me to express in words how grateful I am for all of the professional and personal relationships we've built during my time in the knife world. I've had the pleasure of chatting with hundreds, or even thousands of you and I'm honored to consider many of you friends. Thank you all for the great discussions, learning opportunities, and moments of joy we've shared together.

I am not certain on what exact date we will be shutting the store down, but I will update this page as things develop. If you are interested in buying the business/brands, please reach out soon and we can discuss. 

 

Once again, thank you all for your support. Truly, it means the world to us and we hope we can do something to help make your day brighter.

 

Cheers,

Zen

 

P.S.

Some of you have noticed that a couple days ago, it said Grand Opening and now we are suddenly closing. Honestly, I had been planning on closing or selling the business a bit later, hence the new brand's "grand opening". However, after receiving a general dealer policy update, we deeply reflected about what 2026 would bring for the EDC world and for us, so we've decided that there is no better time to wind things down. It's really not what we were planning for, especially after investing effort and expenses on getting set up for the coming months, but I'm glad that this timing at least allows us to offer everything at 2025 prices. Apologies for the confusion and thanks again for all the support.

 

Make it a great day!
