It does not need ten features, an aggressive silhouette or a name that sounds like military equipment. The Kestrel wins you over in a quieter way: the curve of the handle, the way the blade fills the hand when open, the clean mechanical click of the lock, and the feeling that somebody actually thought about how a pocket knife should be used.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThen real life starts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eBiltong on the road. An apple at the office. Braai prep when every other knife has somehow disappeared. Cord, packaging, lunch, camp jobs, small repairs and the parcel wrapped by somebody who clearly owned shares in a tape company. The Kestrel is not waiting for one heroic moment.
