Across the blade face, Grey establishes the strongest read of Vanilla. This is where the bare steel and factory hardware feels most concentrated and where the ★ Butterfly Knife gains its visual anchor.

The spine and edge introduces Black as a structural counterweight. Rather than competing with Grey, it separates forms and gives Vanilla a clearer rhythm on the ★ Butterfly Knife.

At the handle and hardware, the exposed material acts as the release point. That quieter transition keeps Vanilla from becoming visually uniform and closes the composition with a distinct material break. On ★ Butterfly Knife, this closing zone is especially important to the way the finish resolves.
