C stands for Choil version.
Intro:
The Atayal XL-C (K329) pays tribute to the Atayal, one of Taiwan's largest indigenous tribes, known for their resilience, craftsmanship, and deep respect for nature. Crafted from Böhler K329 steel, this knife embodies the spirit of self-reliance and precision that defined the Atayal way of life. Living among rugged mountains and dense forests, the Atayal people mastered the art of toolmaking — creating blades that served not only as survival gear but as extensions of their skill and pride. The upswept edge of the Atayal XL-C delivers smooth slicing performance across a variety of materials, while the precision choil provides fine control for detailed work. Its textured handle provides both comfort and grip, striking a balance between modern design and traditional toughness. Rooted in the Atayal principle of “Gaya” — a code of respect, courage, and harmony with nature — this knife stands as a modern tribute to their enduring spirit.
