Designed for Real-World EDC
The tanto profile adds structural strength at the tip for tougher puncture tasks, while the flat primary edge makes everyday slicing efficient and predictable. The 440C blade shrugs off pocket sweat and humidity better than many budget steels, and it sharpens quickly on standard stones—ideal for users who actually use their knife rather than baby it. The aluminum–zinc alloy handle keeps carry weight low without feeling flimsy, and its contours provide strong indexing in wet or gloved hands.
What It’s Great For
Daily utility: Boxes, straps, clamshells, and tape at home, work, or warehouse.
Light outdoor tasks: Paracord, zip ties, blister packs, and quick camp chores.
Travel & errands: Discreet, modern design that slips easily into a pocket organizer or jeans.
Carry & Ergonomics
Pocket-ready footprint: Mid-size length balances reach and comfort for most hand sizes.
Secure lockup: Confidence-inspiring blade stability for controlled cuts.
Grip contours: Subtle palm swell and chamfers support prolonged use without hot spots.
Care & Maintenance
Clean & dry: Wipe after use; a drop of light oil on the pivot and lock interface keeps action smooth.
Touch-ups: 440C responds well to ceramic or fine diamond stones; maintain a modest bevel angle for a keen everyday edge.
Storage: If storing long-term, apply a thin coat of rust inhibitor to the blade and keep away from moisture.
Safety & Use Tips
Cut away from your body and keep fingers clear of the blade path.
Ensure the blade is fully locked open before use.
Follow all local laws regarding carry length and knife types.
