Triple Aught Design TAD Dauntless JW Smith Edition 2014 RARE
This knife has literally sat in my desk over the last couple years. It has opened a few letters and some small boxes. Almost no use at all. It is being listed as used only because I do not have the original packaging. This is a very rare TAD piece. Below is a description from the Triple Aught Design website about the knife.

Best known for his meticulous attention to detail, John W. Smith transforms the pragmatic design of our Dauntless into an elegant but understated work of art.

A hidden refinement lurks in the clean profile Smith created; even still, the construction of this capable folder will ensure it will perform no matter the circumstance. Made from CPM 154, the blade was made to perform a variety of rugged tasks. Our signature Dauntless details like the three-quarter swedge, bayonet point with fuller, and forward choil have all been incorporated by Smith along with a satin finish to complete the aesthetic. The combination of jimping on the backspacer with contoured jimping on the thumb ramp provides consistent traction and a visually smooth transition between the two sections. An inside peek at the liner lock construction shows that Smith covertly included jimping on the inside there as well for traction wherever you need it.

Take care of quick tasks with ease and increase reliability due to the liner lock construction which Smith elegantly incorporates into the folder. Complete hard cuts with a greater balanced knife and increased grip security due to the inclusion of titanium bolsters on both sides. The frame, pocket clip and bolster have been bead blasted to deliver a subtle matte finish. Smith applied our signature three handle fullers on both sides of the handle to give this Dauntless perfect symmetry.

Behind the Scenes with John W. Smith has been making knives for over 20 years.

A voting member of the Knifemakers Guild, John is best known for his work in embellished locking folders and occasionally art fixed blades. Since 1994, he has produced his own Damascus, creating knives that feature intricate engravings, carvings and inlays and showcasing a preference towards natural handle materials. Its this attention to detail that sets Johns work apart from the rest.
