It’s a Pocketknife From the Future, and It’s Beautiful

Hidden blades and aircraft-grade titanium? Yes.

Combine today’s everyday carry culture with an eye to the future and you get the Wingman pocketknife from HEAdesigns. It goes without saying, but men nowadays wield their blades differently from their forefathers, and that holds especially true to the Wingman’s peculiar design.

Founded by knifemaker Sam Abdelrahman, HEA is all about limited-run bespoke knives. Many of the Abdelrahman’s past blades — like the Sabertooth and Equilibrium — are sold out, but still offer the same aesthetic: clean, functional and above all else, futuristic.

For the Wingman, that means a mid-sized blade forged from high-quality stainless steel that hides flush inside the titanium handle when the knife is closed. The result is a knife for anyone who appreciates out-of-the-box designs that can perform.

Currently available for preorder, head on over to HEAdesigns for purchase details.
