Hobby knives are ideal for a number of different projects but are quite easily damaged and dangerous, so the 'PK.01' design knife aims to change this. Toted as "a knife for designers by a designer," the 'PK.01' knife features a streamlined handle and aesthetic that has been accents with a cork grip portion. The geometric cork sleeve sits on the handle and is capable of sliding up and down on the unit in order to either act as a way to hang onto the knife or as a way to protect against damage to the blade.
The 'PK.01' design knife is the design work of Marion Lenne and also works to provide protection from the blade, which is welcome news to anyone who has ever misplaced the cap on top of traditional hobby knives.
