Overview

Built for everyday carry in the outdoors, this folding knife is suited to hunters and other users who want a compact tool that’s ready when needed. The textured micarta handle is designed to stay secure in hand, even in wet conditions, while the drop point blade and plain edge make it a practical choice for general cutting tasks. An ambidextrous pivot lock, pass-through frame, and anti-rotation pocket clip add convenience for carry and use, and the glass breaker provides an extra emergency feature. It’s a straightforward option for backcountry trips, camp chores, or keeping on hand around the truck and home.

Considerations & Trade-offs

The open and closed lengths are compact enough for carry, but this is still a folding knife, so it’s best suited to tasks that fit that format rather than heavier fixed-blade use.
The textured micarta handle is designed for a secure grip, but that same grippy feel may be more noticeable in pocket carry than a smoother handle profile.
The PVD-coated 440A blade is described with enhanced corrosion resistance, but no performance claims beyond that are provided, so expectations should stay within the listed specifications.
The integrated glass breaker adds utility, but it also means the knife is geared toward multi-purpose carry rather than a minimalist blade-only design.
