2023 Tuatara
Featured on Beez Blades!
Tuatara: tu·a·ta·ra /ˌto͞oəˈtärə/ a nocturnal burrowing lizard-like reptile with a crest of soft spines along its back, now confined to some small islands off New Zealand.
Knife:
The best seller of 2022, the Tuatara makes a return in the 2023 model selection. The Tuatara was originally designed to be a nice camp knife to be used for not just tough tasks but for a multitude of tasks the outdoors may present like skinning game, building shelters, cutting rope, and much more. The slanted tip allows for a strong yet sharp point. The Tuatara has a slightly larger handle compared to the Sheepsfoot which allows for better control during tough tasks. If you’re looking for a knife that can take a beating, the Tuatara is for you.

Handle:
The G-10 handles can be replaced/removed with either a flat or phillips bit screwdriver. The 3 screws can be used in the Kydex sheath to connect the clip. The G-10 handle can stay firmly attached without the middle screw if needed.
Sheath:
All 2023 models come with a black Kydex sheath. The Kydex sheath allows the knife to click into place and stay there without the worry your knife will cut through the sheath (which can happen with leather and Nylon) or fall out. Kydex can be easily washed with soap and water. Make sure to completely dry the inside of your knife with compressed air before putting your knife back in.
Additional Features:
The jimping on the spine of the knife is a nice addition to help the user maintain a firm grip on the knife along with better control. The sharpening choil also helps the user with sharpening as it separates the blade from the handle with a clear & defined gap and helps the user fully sharpen the blade all the way to the heel of the blade. The half inch lanyard hole can be used to attach the knife to rope, line, D-rings, gear, and more.
