Blade: Practical Geometry + Tough Stainless
The Kudu Lite’s 4.25-inch clip-point blade is forged from 5Cr15MoV stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy prized for easy maintenance, reliable edge retention, and straightforward sharpening. The plain edge and clip-point profile deliver a versatile cutting geometry — a fine tip for precision work and a long belly for slicing tasks. The stonewashed finish minimizes glare and helps camouflage wear, making the Kudu Lite forgiving in real-world conditions.
Handle: Comfort, Grip, and Low Weight
Designed to be carried every day, the Kudu Lite’s black handle offers a secure, ergonomic grip with clean lines that balance the blade for confident control. Construction focuses on comfort and traction without adding unnecessary bulk, so the knife feels right whether you’re cutting rope, prepping camp meals, or opening packages.
Lightweight Folding Design for EDC
The Kudu Lite folds down to a slim, pocket-friendly profile that’s comfortable for everyday carry. The folding mechanism is smooth and secure; the blade locks open firmly for safe use and tucks away neatly when finished. A discreet pocket clip (on most retail variants) keeps the knife accessible and seated low in the pocket for discreet carry.
