Materials That Matter
D2 Tool Steel: Favored in working knives for its long-lasting edge. Keep it lightly oiled to protect against surface corrosion in humid or salty environments.
Cerakoted Aluminum: Rigid, light, and resilient. Cerakote adds color and extra protection against wear and the elements.
Care & Maintenance
Clean After Use: Wipe the blade to remove residue; avoid pocket lint buildup in the OTF channel.
Lubricate Lightly: A drop of quality knife oil on the blade and mechanism helps maintain smooth action.
Touch Up the Edge: Use a fine ceramic or diamond stone; maintain the factory bevel for best results.
Cerakote Care: Avoid harsh abrasives; wipe with a soft cloth to keep the flag graphic crisp.
Safety & Legal Notes
Know Your Local Laws: OTF knives are regulated in some jurisdictions. Verify carry and ownership rules in your area before purchase or carry.
Use Responsibly: Keep fingers clear of the blade path; retract when not in use. Store out of reach of children.
What’s in the Box
FAQ
Q: Is the FS-3 “automatic”?
A: It’s a dual-action OTF: the same thumb slide deploys and retracts the blade. Laws vary—confirm local regulations before carry.
Q: How does D2 compare to stainless steels?
A: D2 offers superior wear resistance and edge retention versus many common stainlesses, with slightly less corrosion resistance. Wipe dry and oil lightly for best results.
Q: Can I disassemble the knife?
A: Many OTF mechanisms are factory-tuned. Disassembly can void warranties and affect reliability. Routine exterior cleaning and light lubrication are recommended instead.
Q: Is the medium size good for EDC?
A: Yes—the 3" blade / 5" handle combo provides capable cutting length in a compact, pocketable profile.
