Overview

CUSTOS (kuhs-tos) n. : keeper, custodian, guard

**This updated version of the Custos comes in 3V steel with a more aggressive grind for even more cutting power out of this compact package**

When designing this TAD exclusive Ban Tang Custos, compact dimensions and light weight were imperative. Ease of carry make this an round the clock companion, able to both see you through the mundane and keep pace when life turns you down a dark alley. Ultra-light and astonishingly sharp are vast understatements.

The Custos is made of 3V and features a convex ground edge for impressively clean, razor-sharp cuts.A longer more pronounced swedge and acute point aid in even greater cutting power in this already formidable compact package. A thin, flat blade keeps the knife fast and light to work with. The full size, resin soaked cord handle offers exemplary grip. A user configurable fold over sheath is compatible with small Tek-Loks, soft loops with Pull-The-DOT snaps, or shock cord carry. This edition comes with a versatile soft loop . 

Minimalist design and lightweight build allow the Ban Tang Custos to serve as an ever-present concealable guardian.

Due to the nature of custom items, slight variations may occur.

Behind the scenes with ban tang

Ban Tang has always been captivated by sharp edges, a trait that lay the foundation for his distinctive style and has since been echoed through all of his creations. Completely self taught, he began making knives professionally in 2007 and has since refined his approach as he's grown as knifemaker. He believes a knife's principle function, to cut well, should never be sacrificed. He strives to perfect this as closely as possible with each of his designs, resulting in precise knives with balanced edge geometry and razor sharp blades like you've never seen before.
