Actually, it's a directional snowblade that you can only mount backwards.

I actually heard they were a knife that you could carry while skiing to get + gang points and mad street cred

this is true, they're just super expensive knifes used to cut people with once you've landed something respectable with bang

Yeah, they're a totally different design than the TNK, but they'll fill the same niche: a stiff, poppy park/pipe ski. We have made it a lot lighter than the TNK, and we are using our new semi-cap construction to help eliminate top sheet chipping while still having the advantages of a sandwich construction.

All of our team riders love them, and they have been holding up really well durability-wise.
