Royal Flush Spades – spring-assisted EDC pocket knife with Tanto blade

The Royal Flush Spades by Dark Side Blades is a spring-assisted pocket knife designed for everyday carry and collectors. It features a Tanto blade shape with skull artwork and a grey aluminium handle. The knife weighs 0.35kg and measures 8.4cm when closed.

Construction and materials

The blade is made from 3Cr13 stainless steel and has a stonewashed finish that helps conceal minor scratches. Blade length is 3.5cm, with a plain-edge grind suited to general cutting tasks. The aluminium handle provides a solid feel and balanced weight distribution.

Application and use

This knife is intended for EDC use, handling everyday cutting tasks such as rope, cardboard, and light woodwork. The Tanto blade profile provides a strong tip for demanding applications. It is also suited to collectors due to its skull-detailed blade design.

Integration and compatibility

The knife operates with a spring-assisted opening system and a liner lock mechanism. It is one-hand openable and locks the blade securely in place during use. No additional tools or accessories are required for operation.

Maintenance and lifecycle

Keep the knife clean and dry after use, and apply a drop of oil to the pivot periodically. The 3Cr13 stainless steel offers reasonable corrosion resistance, though wiping away moisture is recommended. The blade may require regular sharpening compared to premium steels.
