  • Includes belt and visor clip for convenient carry
  • Folds to a compact size at just 0.5 lbs total weight

A Practical Blade That Doesn’t Hide What It Is

Most people who carry a folding knife use it dozens of times before they ever think about self-defense. Opening packages, cutting cord, slicing fruit on a hike, breaking down cardboard. A good everyday knife earns its place through utility first.

This assisted-open folder puts a 3.5-inch two-tone blade in a stainless steel handle with gold trim. It’s not trying to look tactical. It’s a functional cutting tool that happens to look clean doing it.

Who This Folding Knife Is For

If you camp, hike, fish, or just handle a lot of tasks that involve cutting things, a reliable folding knife is basic gear. This one is sized for general-purpose use — not so large it’s unwieldy, not so small it can’t handle real work.

It’s also a reasonable option for anyone who wants an everyday carry blade with some visual character. The gold trim gives it a distinctive look without making it impractical.

Is This the Right Choice for You?

Choose this knife if you want:

  • A mid-size folding blade for everyday tasks and outdoor use
  • Assisted opening for quick, one-handed access
  • A distinctive two-tone look with gold accent trim

Consider something else if you need:

  • A heavy-duty fixed blade for serious outdoor or survival work
  • A smaller, more discreet blade for minimal pocket carry

How It Actually Works

The assisted-open mechanism means you start the blade opening and a spring helps complete it. This gives you fast, reliable deployment with one hand — useful when your other hand is holding a rope, a flashlight, or a bag of groceries. It’s not automatic (which matters for legality in some areas), but it’s close in speed.

The 3Cr13 steel is a practical choice for an everyday blade. It holds an edge well for general tasks and is easy to resharpen when it dulls. It won’t outperform premium tool steels, but for the tasks most people actually use a folding knife for, it’s more than adequate. The stainless steel handle adds durability without significant weight — the whole knife comes in at just half a pound.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an assisted-open knife the same as a switchblade?

No. A switchblade opens fully with the press of a button — no manual input needed to start the blade moving. An assisted-open knife requires you to begin opening the blade manually, and then a spring mechanism helps complete the action. This distinction matters legally, as many jurisdictions that restrict automatic knives permit assisted-open models. That said, laws vary by location, so verify your local regulations before carrying.

How does 3Cr13 steel compare to more expensive blade steels?

3Cr13 is a budget-friendly stainless steel that offers good corrosion resistance and adequate edge retention for everyday tasks. It won’t hold an edge as long as higher-end steels like S30V or 154CM, but it’s significantly easier to resharpen at home with basic tools. For opening packages, cutting rope, and general utility work, it performs well without requiring specialized maintenance.

Will the gold trim wear off over time?

The gold trim is decorative and may show wear with heavy daily use over an extended period, particularly on high-contact surfaces. This is cosmetic and doesn’t affect the blade’s cutting performance or the handle’s structural integrity. If maintaining the appearance matters to you, occasional cleaning and avoiding abrasive surfaces will help preserve the finish longer.
