Construction and materials

The knife features an 88.9mm blade length with a satin finish and plain-edge cutting surface. When folded, it measures 108mm for compact carry. The gold finish provides a distinctive appearance while the 3Cr13 steel offers corrosion resistance suitable for everyday tasks.

Application and use

This pocket knife suits EDC applications including cutting rope, food preparation, and light woodwork. The Wharncliffe blade shape delivers controlled cuts with its straight edge, making it practical for precision tasks where a pointed tip isn't required.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular sharpening to maintain optimal edge retention. Clean after use and apply oil monthly to preserve the mechanism and blade. The satin finish helps conceal minor scratches from regular use.
