Okapi is a pocket knife and hand-tools manufacturing company based on the north-east Coast of South Africa. The okapi knife is a working knife designed to be highly robust, practical and equally affordable all the while remaining faithful to its rich 112-year-old heritage. Whether an okapi knife is needed for everyday tasks or to clean wild game, the 1055 high carbon steel blades are up to the challenge from one end the continent to the other. The stabilized cherry handle, stainless steel stirrup and back-strap, and sloping shape give the okapi knives their distinctive look, recognizable by collectors around the world. The genet slip joint knife is a smooth, slender and quick as the African animal its named after. Atypical in shape from its okapi brothers, the genet responds to a number of grips. The 2 1/2" drop point blade cuts clean through any number of tasks. Comfortable in the pocket, genet slip joint is a lot of knife in just 4" closed length.
