Explore how each element works together to create a folding knife that feels deliberate, controlled, and purpose-built.
1. Magnetic Removable Inlay System
Magnet-retained inlays allow fast removal and replacement without compromising rigidity or alignment. Designed for modularity to give the user the ability to change the look and feel at any time.
2. Proprietary Lock Mechanism
Our proprietary Index Lock was engineered from the ground up for strength, reliability, and intuitive operation. A robust coil spring is used to promote consistent engagement and long-term durability, delivering secure lockup while remaining easy to actuate and maintain over time.
3. Forward Index Finger Choil
A dedicated forward choil positions the index finger closer to the edge for fine control. A subtly blunted section just forward of the choil allows safe pressure and grip adjustment during detailed cutting.
4. Single-Screw Reversible Clip
The pocket clip reverses with a single fastener, simplifying left or right-hand carry without extra hardware or unnecessary complexity. Clean, functional, and intentionally minimal.
5. Extended Spine Jimping
Jimping runs more than halfway down the blade spine, aligning naturally with the forward choil. This pairing provides consistent traction and control during precision work without aggressive discomfort.
6. Ergonomic Half-Circle Blade Slot
The half-circle blade slot supports multiple deployment styles, accommodating different hand sizes, gloves, and preferences while maintaining a clean blade profile.
7. Symmetrical Full Flat Grind with Sharpening Reference
A true full flat grind delivers balanced cutting performance. A subtle flat near the spine provides a repeatable reference point for guided sharpening systems, ensuring consistent edge geometry over time.
We are already working on offering various new color and material options. Stay tuned for more information as we have it. Be sure to let us know if there's a color/material you'd like to see.
We designed the interchangeable lock interface with that in mind. We are not focused on those options at this time, but we will certainly be bringing more options to market in the future.
