A curious tool that reveals a hidden edge.

Part kinetic sculpture and part cutting tool, the Sidewinder has left an undeniable mark with its enigmatic motion and irresistible tactility. Now, the Sidewinder family is growing thanks to an alluring new addition: the Sidewinder Knife Deluxe.

The Deluxe maintains the original Sidewinder’s signature heft, motion, and feel. Its look, on the other hand, is a distinct departure in form. Either side of the Sidewinder Knife Deluxe’s polished stainless steel hilt features six abalone inlays, their color and composition shifting with the light as they move and realign with each opening and closing — an action sure to be repeated by anyone who holds one.

Once again developed in collaboration with Chen Chen & Kai Williams, the Deluxe expands on their iconic original Sidewinder design. The addition of abalone — a favored material of CC&KW — gives each Sidewinder Deluxe its own unique profile and dynamic look, with each bit painstakingly inlaid in the polished stainless steel frame. The result is a Sidewinder that’s somehow even more unexpected than its celebrated predecessor.

The Sidewinder Knife Deluxe began its life on Kickstarter, attracting over 6,000 backers. Now, we’re pleased to announce that it’s available to the general public.
