A lightweight, folding everyday carry knife (EDC) crafted by renowned knifemaker Ken Onion. The Homefront Compact is modeled after blades from the World War II period.
Features a Drop-Point blade with a sleek black plain edge, made from S35VN stainless steel prized for its outstanding corrosion resistance. The blade sports a DLC (Diamond-like Carbon Coating) finish for added durability.
Handle scales are constructed from robust, lightweight G10 material with aluminum reinforcement. Ergonomic contouring combined with an anti-slip texture provides enhanced grip security.
A flipper mechanism allows for rapid blade deployment and doubles as a cross guard to prevent hand slippage onto the blade. Ball bearings in the pivot ensure fluid mechanism operation.
Supplied with a spring-loaded clip for convenient attachment to a belt or pocket edge. A dedicated lanyard or keychain hole is located at the handle’s end.
