number of things that make the Nirvana cool, starting with the lead designer, custom knife maker Peter Rassenti, who worked with the Spyderco team to bring the Nirvana to life.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Rassenti custom work is extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Of course, his impeccable craftsmanship is typically reflected in the price tag of his knives \u2014 which brings me to the next point, the MSRP of the Nirvana is about half as much as one of Rassenti\u2019s custom blades, which usually come in at around $550-plus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Next, you have the S90V stainless steel blade and the handle made from a single piece of 6Al4V titanium!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>A single piece!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Along with some jimping on the thumb ramp and the butt, the integral locking system and the\u00a0broken glass finish on the handle, you have one really
