Key benefits

  • Long blade = high cutting performance – ideal for outdoor use, cutting rope, materials, and working with larger objects
  • Serrated edge – extremely effective for cutting textiles, straps, and ropes
  • Lightweight construction – under 90 g for a 23 cm knife is remarkable
  • Excellent FRN texture – secure grip even when the knife is wet or greasy
  • Lockback – reliable, strong, and versatile lock, also suitable for left-handed users
  • 🔴 Drawbacks
  • The length may be "over the line" for EDC in an urban environment
  • A serrated edge is harder to sharpen without the proper equipment
  • FRN has a utilitarian feel – aesthetically it won’t suit everyone

  • "The DLC looks great, but above all it’s durable – still like new."
