The Kingpin from NotoriouseEDC is a Slipjoint, as it could hardly be more modern execution! The idea that Stan Lee’s Marvel character “Kingpin” could carry such a pocket knife in the inside pocket of his jacket makes this sting all the more interesting. 

 Yet the Kingpin is by no means a typical comic gangster knife, but much more Tom Medvedich’s idea of a modern gentleman folder. First of all, the handle is quite straight, but thanks to its discreet recessed grip, it sits very securely in the hand. A milled groove on the titanium indicates a bolster, which visually loosens up the design a bit. 

The star of the show on the Kingpin is clearly the blade: hollow ground, made of M390, with a long fuller – knife heart, what more could you want! The Harpoon-style blade runs really pointed, giving the knife a very nice, modern touch.  By the way, the Kingpin is manufactured by Reate, which promises the highest quality!
