Donovan is named after William “Wild Bill” Donovan, the head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a precursor to the United States Government agency known for human intelligence collection. OSS activities created a need for clandestine tradecraft and low-signature tools, as their agents were working undercover in axis territory.
The Black Triangle Donovan’s dagger-like profile is a nod to the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, with a modern twist of adding an ergonomic handle. Donovan is a popular addition to the Black Triangle line of non-metallic g10 knife products.
