Why Choose the Schrade Slingshot Lockback
AUS-10 performance steel: This high-carbon, high-chromium stainless is a favorite for EDC and outdoor knives—offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance.
Recurve clip-point geometry: The subtle recurve adds a natural “pull” into the cut for rope, webbing, and cardboard, while the clip point keeps the tip agile for detail work.
Satin finish: Low-glare, easy-clean finish that highlights grind lines and helps resist staining during everyday use.
Lockback strength: The classic lockback gives secure, consistent lockup with a familiar, glove-friendly release—confidence you can feel when bearing down.
Full-grip G10 handle: G10 scales deliver excellent traction when wet, sweaty, or gloved and remain dimensionally stable across temperature changes.
Work-ready ergonomics: A generous 5" handle length offers all-hand control for larger hands or thick gloves, distributing pressure during long cutting sessions.

Built for Real-World Use
Cutting efficiency: The recurve excels at draw cuts—think corrugated boxes, nylon strap, paracord, and landscaping ties—while the blade’s belly glides through fibrous materials.
Controlled tip work: The clip point narrows to a keen tip for score lines, package opening, and precise pierces without feeling fragile.
Secure in the hand: Deep traction from G10 and a full-length handle provide leverage and confidence when you need to push, slice, or carve.
Easy upkeep: AUS-10 responds well to ceramic rods and whetstones; the satin grind makes burr removal quick for a razor-clean edge.
Ideal Use Cases
EDC & work: Daily box duty, pallet straps, light shop tasks, and warehouse runs.
Outdoor & camp: Food prep, cordage management, kindling processing (feather sticks), and general campsite chores.
Tool bag & truck kit: A dependable, corrosion-resistant folder that stands ready in glove boxes and tool rolls.
Care Tip: Wipe the blade dry after use, apply a thin coat of oil to the edge and pivot, and store in a dry place. Touch up often—frequent light honing keeps AUS-10 singing.
