Why This Knife Works
The tanto blade geometry excels at piercing and controlled cuts—a geometry proven in both military and civilian applications. D2 steel delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, while the half-serrated edge combines the versatility of a straight edge with the aggressive cutting power of serrations.
The ambidextrous lock accommodates both left and right-handed users, and the ball-bearing pivot ensures the blade deploys with minimal effort. The Grivory handle keeps the overall package light and maneuverable without compromising structural integrity.
The Bottom Line
This is a serious folder for serious users—whether you're a professional, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone who simply demands reliability from their tools.
