To increase the performance of this compact, tactical EDC. We replicated the internal steel liners into a distinctive skeletonized aluminum handle, this reduced the weight by one-third and increased its appeal fivefold. With the 3.5"" liner locking anodized blade, a non-reflective matte black finish, spine jimping, and the superior spring-assisted opening, we were well on our way to creating a bestselling folder. The final touch is a rigid stainless steel drop point blade (57-59 RC) with a plain edge, for wet stone sharping in the field and stainless steel clip for tip-down carry.
