Our most anticipated collaboration yet, the Kaviso x Sharp By Design Mini Tempest is here at long last. Based on a combination of poll results from and expert guidance from Brian Nadeau, this lineup is sure to impress even the most snobbish knife collectors among us.

For the first time, the Mini Tempest will feature a standard flipper tab option similar to other SBD models like the Typhoon, complete with signature BN engraving. The fan favorite front flipping tempest remains unchanged from the first production run to round out the deployment options. Both open via SBD’s signature integral mid-strength detent for a satisfying, haptic, fidget friendly user experience.

Sharp By Design’s production models maintain the elegance and sophistication of Brian’s custom models by integrating only premier quality components - the Mini Tempest is no exception. Titanium handles nestle Camo Carbon and Fat Carbon composite inlays with a range of flashy (or not so flashy) options to choose from: 80s, Ship Wreck, and Dark Matter Black.

Brian Nadeau has been churning out custom knives from his shop in New Jersey for more than a decade - and he’s got a trophy case full of awards to show for it. Known best for his integral detent, protruding and pronounced flipper tabs, and sleek aesthetics, his custom pieces and production knives alike stand out from the pack.
