About Design

The Bison is a folding Bowie-style knife that pairs the classic clip point blade with a bold, modern handle design. It marks a clear departure from Ray Laconico’s signature minimalist style, exploring a more robust and expressive direction.
Featuring a strong Bowie blade profile, the Bison delivers the power and versatility associated with traditional designs, while the ergonomic handle brings a refined, contemporary feel. Balancing heritage and innovation, the Bison stands out as both a capable tool and a striking collector’s piece.
