Faux Stag | Ridge Runner – Automatic opening pocket knife with liner lock

The Faux Stag by Ridge Runner is a pocket knife featuring an 8.89cm drop point blade with automatic (switchblade) opening mechanism. Constructed from 3Cr13 stainless steel with a plain edge, this knife measures 21.59cm when open and folds down to 12.7cm for pocket carry.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 3Cr13 stainless steel, a basic grade that offers rust resistance and adequate edge retention for light cutting tasks. The faux stag handle provides textured grip, while the chrome finish adds durability. The knife employs a liner lock mechanism for secure blade retention during use.

Application and use

This pocket knife suits everyday carry (EDC) applications including cutting rope, food preparation, and light woodworking. The automatic opening system enables one-handed operation, making it practical for general utility tasks where quick deployment is beneficial.

Integration and compatibility

The knife includes a pocket clip for secure carry. With its 12.7cm folded length, it fits standard pockets comfortably. The drop point blade profile offers versatility for both precision work and general cutting tasks.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular sharpening to maintain optimal cutting performance. Clean the blade after use and periodically oil the pivot mechanism. While the steel offers rust resistance, proper maintenance extends the knife's service life.
