Lots of noise, but not much bite. Have you ever encountered a Yipper? You know the one: a little dog that barks like the king of the prairie, but really weighs less than a hamburger; a fierce pup whose bark is worse than its bite. Designer Ben Petersen grew up in an area where coyotes would yip and howl at night. Their call is a bit ominous—scary maybe—but they’re like those little yipper dogs: lots of noise, not so much bite. So, when Igor Bortolussi at MKM approached him about designing a knife, I started drawing a knife that is a yipper: sharp teeth, but not much bite. A black G10 EDC knife that gets work done.
