Overview
This compact side-slider out-the-front automatic is built for users who want a discreet carry option with a dagger-style blade and a thumb-slide opening system. Its 1.88-inch plain edge and 5.27-inch overall length keep the profile small, while the blue anodized aluminum handle gives it a clean, modern look. At 3 ounces, it is sized for everyday carry or backup use when a low-bulk knife is preferred. The Sentinel Money Clip format favors convenience and portability, though its compact dimensions naturally limit reach and cutting capacity compared with larger fixed blades.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 1.88" dagger blade and 5.27" overall length make this a compact carry option, but the short blade format limits reach and general-purpose utility compared with larger knives.
- As a side-slider out-the-front automatic, it offers fast deployment, yet the thumb-slide mechanism is a more specialized carry style than a conventional folder.
- The blue anodized aluminum handle gives it a distinct finish, though that styling may show wear more readily than a more subdued carry knife.
- At 3 oz, it stays relatively light for pocket carry, but the money clip format may not suit users who prefer a fuller grip or larger handle profile.
