As a resident in the suburban area of Adelaide I see with birds of Adelaide daily - they are what started this collection of pocket knives (EDC Aviary Pocket Knives). Whilst my daily preference changes dependent on which bird is nicest to me - these are the Top 5.
6. The Wedge Tailed Eagle
Whilst not common in rural areas the wedged tailed eagle is a common site when one heads north to Port Augusta, Finders rangers or Northern territory. A large viscous carnivore inspired a long, flat blade design with a handle finish of browns and yellow in honour of the feathers of this famous bird. Whilst not the most common or most loved bird the wedged tailed eagle still made it's way into the Koi knife top 6 Adelaide pocket knives.
5. The Galah EDC Pocket Knife
The Galah is a common bird throughout Adelaide bringing large quantities of pink to the power lines of Oz. The unique colour of the feathers (mainly pink) is what motivated the team at Koi to make this bird into one of the first pocket knives we've ever made.
In terms of size, the pocket knife is a mid size (just like the bird itself) and is a utility style blade that can be used for a variety of task (cutting string, opening boxes preparing strawberry jam on toast etc).
