It also comes with a filler tap that can cover the non-clip side. This added feature enhances the aesthetics and acts as a protective barrier against dirt, dust, or other debris.   BACK STORY In short, we love knives, and we love making knives for you. we always want to create fun, unique, and functional knives for you.
