Overview
Built for users who want a compact automatic folder with straightforward operation, this knife pairs a side button opening system with a sliding safety switch to help reduce accidental deployment. The 3.50-inch blade and 8.75-inch overall length place it in a practical size range for everyday carry or general field use where quick access matters. Black textured G-10 scales provide a secure grip, while the black stonewashed D2 steel blade gives the knife a restrained, utilitarian look. At 4 ounces, it keeps the carry weight manageable without adding unnecessary bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Automatic side-button operation adds speed, but it also means the knife is intended for users comfortable with an automatic opening mechanism and its safety switch.
- At 4 oz and 8.75" overall length, it is a full-size folder that may feel substantial in pocket carry compared with smaller everyday carry knives.
- The black textured G-10 handle and black stonewashed blade give it a subdued finish, but the all-black presentation can make edge and surface wear less visually obvious during use.
- Blade and handle specifications are provided, but no sheath is listed in the product data, so carry and storage setup may need to be planned separately.
