Overview
Built for users who want a dependable folding knife with a tactical focus, this model pairs a fine-edge drop point blade with a button lock and flipper opening for controlled handling. The G10 handle is intended to provide a secure grip, including in wet conditions, while the titanium-coated D2 blade is presented as a hard-use option for everyday carry or field tasks. At 4.50 oz., it keeps the profile relatively light for a knife with this kind of robust construction, though the 3.80" blade and 9.00" open length make it a more substantial carry than compact pocket options.

Pros

- Titanium-coated D2 steel blade is specified with 60–62 hardness.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 3.80" blade and 9.00" open length put this in a full-size carry category, so it may feel substantial compared with smaller everyday folders.
- The titanium-coated D2 blade is described as a fine-edge drop point, which favors slicing and general utility rather than heavy-duty prying or other abusive tasks.
- The button lock and flipper setup offer quick one-handed operation, but that also means the lock mechanism is a key point to keep clean and maintained.
- The G10 handle is designed for grip and durability, but the 0.5" handle width suggests a slimmer profile that may not suit users who prefer a fuller hand feel.
