Overview
Built for straightforward everyday carry, this folding knife combines quick one-handed opening with a secure liner lock for practical use in camp, on the trail, or around the hunt.

For added confidence in hand, it uses two stainless steel liners and an ergonomic grip with a contoured Dymalux rosewood inlay. A removable, reversible deep pocket tip-up clip gives it flexible carry options for pocket, belt, or bag use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The knife is built around a 3 1/4" blade and a 4 3/8" closed length, so it offers a larger carry profile than compact pocket knives.
- It uses a stainless steel liner lock, which is secure for one-handed use but adds a manual lock-release step when closing.
- The ergonomic grip combines injection molded nylon with a contoured Dymalux rosewood inlay, giving it a more refined feel while still keeping the construction practical.
- The removable, reversible deep pocket tip-up clip supports flexible carry, but the knife is still designed as an everyday carry pocket knife rather than a dedicated field tool.
