Bold, refined, and unmistakably distinctive—the Shard is a striking collaboration between Mechforce and Paul Tony Kilby. Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese tanto blades and katana design language, this integral frame lock flipper blends heritage aesthetics with modern machining and premium materials.

At its core is a precision-machined integral titanium handle, carved from a single piece for maximum strength and seamless construction. The glass bead blasted finish gives it a clean, matte texture, while carbon fiber inlays add contrast, depth, and a high-end visual edge. The result is a handle that feels as solid as it looks, with excellent ergonomics and control.

The 3.375″ blade is crafted from Bohler M390 stainless steel and features a compound hollow grind, delivering exceptional slicing performance with a reinforced tip for precision tasks. The Japanese tanto blade shape enhances durability and piercing capability, while the stonewashed finish improves wear resistance. Kilby’s signature oversized flipper tab ensures fast, reliable deployment and doubles as a finger guard for added safety during use.

Built on a smooth bearing pivot and secured with a robust frame lock, the Shard is designed for both performance and presence—equally at home in daily carry or a curated collection.
