My knife collection has grown to include the Solstice and now the Strategy as well!
I was looking for something special, unique and elegant when I found the Ocaso lineup. Then I found out the designer is a local from my hometown, then I discovered they manufacture they’re products in Taiwan which to me is as good as USA standards and practices if not better, debate me if you want.
The Strategy just fits my hand flawlessly, like it was molded for it. It’s got some weight to it but just the right amount. As far as I can tell, nothing was left unthought of when this knife was put together. It’s a beautiful piece and tool. Incredibly sharp and well balanced. If you want an affordable EDC knife that is also a beautiful piece of art, Ocaso is the way.

Thanks C.W! We agree, Mike Wallace put a lot of thought into designing the Strategy and we're glad to hear it has exceeded your expectations.

Shaving sharp

Beautifully designed, elegant knife. The new German D2 steel is a very versatile material. I’m a happy owner of one of the best knives of my extensive collection.

First Real EDC

My first two American names, China built attempts at EDC were disappointments. I increased my budget & research to land on Ocaso. The offered what I was looking for, elegance, quality, & affordability, three virtues one rarely finds packaged in a weapon. The Strategy is sleek yet sturdy, light but substantial, affordable & bouchie.

I also picked up a Blue Damascus Solstice that is exactly what I envisioned a Gentleman's blade should offer. Elegance, ultra light construction, slick operation, & wicked sharp. Not an EDC, but uniquely able to perform tight cuts others can't reach. Their clips are the best for concealment.

Ocaso is now my gold standard that I will judge all future knife purchases against, including their new models. The fact that they don't use China to manufacture was also a big factor. I hope they continue to offer these beautiful knives, I like their style.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our Strategy and Damascus Solstice knives. We hope to continue offering beautiful knives that meet your standards. Thank you again for choosing Ocaso!
