Key parameters
Possible limitations
- Stiletto blade – more optimized for piercing than slicing; less versatile for kitchen tasks.
- No safety against accidental opening – the button lock is secure, but caution is advised under strong pressure in a pocket.
- Visually distinctive design – less discreet than compact EDC knives.
- Maintenance and sharpening
- D2 steel holds an edge very well, but it is not fully stainless – we recommend drying the blade after use and applying a light coat of oil. The mechanism is almost maintenance-free; occasional lubrication of the pivot is sufficient.
- To maintain the edge, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF – ideal for plain edges as well. 🛒 Available on our website Moskito.cz.
- Who it is for
- For fans of classic design in modern execution.
- For everyday carry with an emphasis on both style and function.
- For collectors looking for an American folder with a distinctive appearance.
- For those who prefer the button lock as a safe and fast operating method.
