"Have you ever met a Yipper? You know a little dog that barks like the king of the prairie, but actually weighs less than a hamburger? A fierce puppy whose barking is worse than its bite! Here-I grew up in an area where coyotes yelp and howl at night. Their call is a bit eerie, perhaps frightening, but they are like those barking puppies: much ado about nothing. So when Igor Bortolussi of MKM asked me to design a knife, I started to design a knife that was a yipper: sharp teeth, but compassed appearance. An EDC knife that despite its name does what it's supposed to do and does it damn well!" - Ben Petersen
