The weight and size of this knife are a plus, but the handle feels very plasticky, so I’m taking off one star. The assisted opening mechanism is helpful, though it packs quite a punch for such a lightweight knife. I recommend it.
Lightweight and compact, this everyday carry EDC knife is designed by Florida-based knifemaker Liong Mah.
Featuring a modified Sheepfoot blade profile, the knife utilizes D2 tool steel acclaimed for its aggressive cutting performance and impressive wear resistance. The blade is finished in satin, enhancing its matte appearance.
Deployment is achieved via a flipper tab, with rapid and seamless opening provided by the IKBS Ball Bearing Pivot System and the award-winning Assisted Opening mechanism developed by Ken Onion.
Once open, the flipper acts as a cross guard, preventing the hand from sliding onto the sharp edge. The classic Liner Lock ensures the blade remains open during use, while a jimped spine boosts grip stability and enhances control over the knife.
Handles are ergonomically contoured and constructed from durable glass-filled nylon.
A reversible spring stainless steel clip provides secure and convenient everyday carry by allowing attachment to a pocket or belt edge.
