De Padmeester | Elk Ridge – Spring-assisted pocket knife with liner lock

The De Padmeester from Elk Ridge is a spring-assisted pocket knife designed for everyday carry applications. This knife features a 9.1cm blade made from 3Cr13 stainless steel, a liner lock mechanism, and brown wooden handle scales for enhanced grip.

Construction and materials

The knife measures 20.5cm in total length with a droppoint blade profile. The blade features a satin finish and plain-edge cutting surface. Handle construction combines stainless steel liners with brown wood overlay panels. The 3Cr13 steel provides adequate edge retention and corrosion resistance for general-purpose cutting tasks.

Application and use

This pocket knife suits everyday carry and light utility work. The droppoint blade shape handles common cutting tasks including rope, cardboard, and food preparation. The spring-assisted opening mechanism enables quick blade deployment, while the pocket clip allows for convenient carry in work environments or outdoor settings.

Integration and compatibility

The knife operates with a spring-assisted opening system and can be deployed one-handed. The liner lock secures the blade during use. Standard pocket clip mounting provides right-hand tip-up carry configuration. No additional tools or accessories are required for operation.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion. Apply lubricant to the pivot mechanism periodically to maintain smooth operation. The plain-edge blade design simplifies sharpening when edge maintenance is needed.
