Latama has long been one of the leading names in automatic knives. Named after a word meaning courage or boldness, its Yuuki Latama X Victoriam collaboration folder features a titanium handle with a graceful blade shape patterned after Japanese “cormorant neck” swords. A particularly shapely pocket clip follows the handle lines and adds to the flowing effect.
The CPM-20CV blade is opened by either a generous nail window or an integrated flipper, pivots on a ceramic bearing and is held open by a pushbutton lock. It combines a hollow grind for the belly of the blade with a convex tip, for a blend of cutting ability and strength. All sharp edges have been removed from the contact portions of the blade, such as the flipper. Weighing in at 5 oz., what’s not obvious from the photos is how sleek the carefully beveled and rounded handle makes this knife feel in the hand or in a pocket, making it an elegant choice for EDC.
