Green Tampa Snake Eye – Spring-assisted pocket knife with tanto blade

The Green Tampa is a spring-assisted pocket knife featuring a tanto blade design and liner lock mechanism. This everyday carry tool combines 420 stainless steel construction with an aluminium handle, weighing 163g. The 94mm blade length and included pocket clip make it suitable for general cutting tasks.

Construction and materials

The knife measures 225mm overall length when open and 131mm when folded. The blade utilises 420 stainless steel with a 3mm thickness and features a coated finish for corrosion resistance. The green aluminium handle provides grip while maintaining a lightweight profile suitable for pocket carry.

Application and use

Designed for everyday carry applications, this pocket knife handles routine cutting tasks including rope, cardboard, and food preparation. The tanto blade geometry with plain-edge grind offers enhanced tip strength for piercing tasks. The spring-assisted opening mechanism enables quick deployment for utility work.

Integration and compatibility

The knife features a liner lock mechanism for secure blade retention during use. The one-handed opening capability allows operation while the other hand remains free. A standard pocket clip enables secure attachment to pockets or gear for convenient access.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 420 stainless steel requires regular sharpening as it loses edge retention faster than premium steels. The coated finish provides basic corrosion protection but should be kept dry and clean after use. Periodic oiling of the pivot mechanism ensures smooth spring-assisted operation.
