Common Questions
What is the hole in the blade for?
The oval cutout in the blade serves two purposes: it reduces the overall weight of the knife for faster deployment, and it acts as an alternative opening method (thumb hole) for users who prefer not to use the flipper.
Is the blue color painted on?
The blue accent comes from the anodized steel liners that sit underneath the black handle scales. Anodizing is a durable process that bonds the color to the metal, making it resistant to peeling or chipping unlike standard paint.
Is this knife good for everyday carry (EDC)?
Yes. At 4.5 inches closed, it is a standard medium-sized folder that fits comfortably in most pockets. The textured ABS handle makes it durable enough for daily utility tasks like cutting boxes or rope.
