Where minimal design meets maximum utility just a little bit bigger. With a larger blade and a handsome stonewash finish, the Pilar Large keeps the spirit of the bestselling original and the epic tale behind its name. It s understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use. Jesper Voxnaes designed the Pilar to be a reliable everyday carry and named it after Ernest Hemingway s beloved boat the 38-foot long vessel that he used for renegade surveillance of German U-boats during WWII in Caribbean waters. The world-famous author was also a WWI combat vet, big-game hunter, sailor, and fisherman, and certainly would have selected an everyday knife companion like the Pilar Large for his daily endeavors.
