Considerations & Trade-offs
- The FRCP handle keeps weight down, but it is a lighter-duty feel than a traditional G-10 handled folder.
- The 3.38-inch blade and 4.66-inch closed length make it compact for carry, but that also limits cutting reach compared with larger folders.
- The reversible wire clip is set up for tip-up carry only, so it does not offer every carry orientation.
- The thumbhole opening is ambidextrous and straightforward, but it is a manual opening system rather than assisted opening.
