Built around an Apex Ultra core, this WAYO features high-layer mixed-alloy cladding with a heavy dose of nickel. A dark coffee etch brings out the contrasting tones of the steels, with the nickel punching through to create bright lines. The convex grind is thin behind the edge, with a 4.2mm spine and full distal taper giving the blade a solid, blade-forward feel. A cast bronze bolster cap carries a flowing wave pattern that picks up the movement of the cladding, paired with a Camatillo handle, its distinctive red-purple tones adding warmth to the darker palette.
