When You Need More Blade Without More Bulk
There’s a point where a 3-inch blade just isn’t enough. Cutting through thicker cardboard, slicing rope, breaking down packing materials, prepping around a campsite — these tasks go faster and easier with a longer blade. The problem is that most 4-inch folders feel like carrying a brick in your pocket.
This knife takes a different approach. The slim profile keeps it genuinely pocketable despite the extra blade length. It’s built for people who use their knife regularly and have found that smaller blades slow them down.
Who This Pocket Knife Is For
Warehouse workers, delivery drivers, outdoors enthusiasts, and anyone who regularly cuts through material heavier than envelopes. The 4-inch blade gives you meaningful cutting depth and leverage that compact folders can’t match.
It also suits people who prefer a slightly larger knife simply for the ergonomics — a longer handle means a fuller grip, which reduces hand fatigue during extended use. If your current pocket knife feels cramped in your hand, this is a step up in comfort without becoming unwieldy.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose this knife if you want:
- A 4-inch blade with enough length for serious everyday cutting tasks
- A slim, pocketable design that doesn’t add noticeable bulk
- Assisted-open deployment for quick, one-handed access
Consider something else if you need:
- A sub-3-inch blade for jurisdictions with strict carry length limits
- A premium edge-retention steel for professional or heavy-duty use
Built Slim, Cuts Big
The 4-inch 3Cr13 stainless steel blade is the main reason this knife exists. It puts you into a blade length that handles real work — scoring drywall, cutting zip ties, slicing through packaging straps, trimming material. The 3Cr13 steel resists corrosion, sharpens easily with basic tools, and holds up to the kind of daily use that would dull a cheap blade in a week.
The assisted-open mechanism is spring-loaded and engages as soon as you initiate the opening with the thumb stud. One hand, one motion, blade is fully deployed and locked. The slim profile is the design achievement here — at 0.45 lbs, this knife rides in a pocket without announcing itself. The included belt/visor clip gives you alternatives to pocket carry when that makes more sense. Three finish options (Gold & Black, Silver, Silver & Black) let you pick based on personal preference without any difference in function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 4-inch blade legal to carry in my area?
Blade length restrictions vary significantly by state, county, and city. Many areas allow up to 3-4 inches for folding knives, but some have stricter limits. It’s your responsibility to verify local regulations before carrying. A quick search for your jurisdiction’s knife laws — or a call to local law enforcement’s non-emergency line — will give you a definitive answer.
How slim is this compared to a typical pocket knife?
This knife was designed specifically with a slim profile in mind. At 0.45 lbs, it’s noticeably thinner and lighter than many 8.5-inch folders. It won’t create an obvious bulge in your pocket the way thicker-handled knives do. That said, “slim” is relative — it’s still an 8.5-inch folding knife, so it has more presence than a compact 3-inch folder.
What’s the practical difference between the three color options?
Purely cosmetic. Gold & Black, Silver, and Silver & Black use identical blade steel, handle construction, and spring mechanism. Choose based on what you prefer to look at and carry. Some people prefer a finish that shows wear less visibly — the darker options tend to mask pocket wear better than polished silver.
