CNC Machined Hollow Titanium Handles, Bohler M390 Steel Blade for Daily Carry & Outdoor Tasks
Check on Kickstarter

Pocket-Sized. Premium Crafted. High-End Design.

We have always been fascinated by the tactile perfection of a well-made folding knife — the rock-solid lockup, buttery smooth action, precise machining, and the uncompromising reliability of premium blade steel.

We kept asking ourselves:

Why must this level of quality and performance only exist in full-size knives?

So we set out to engineer a premium lightweight EDC folder shrunk down to a truly pocketable form factor — one you can carry effortlessly, anywhere, every day.

This is no trendy gadget.

This is no cheap utility knife.

This is a real, high-performance folding knife — simply miniaturized to perfection.

Built with authentic Bohler M390 blade steel and a non-locking design, it delivers incredibly smooth action with every deployment. Fully CNC machined from start to finish, the knife features a reserved slot for tritium vial installation. The self-luminous tritium vial delivers long-lasting glow visibility in darkness with no charging or battery required. Every premium feature and professional-grade detail is condensed into an ultra-compact, travel-friendly package.

Boasting a slim, lightweight build, it slips easily into your pocket for hassle-free, low-profile carry, ready whenever you need it

Two refined finish options, designed for discreet everyday carry. Featuring a CNC hollowed titanium handle, it delivers light weight without compromising structural integrity. This compact gentleman’s folder slips effortlessly into your suit pocket and handles a wide range of daily tasks.

Built to disappear in your pocket.

A great emergency tool only works when you actually carry it with you. Compactness, therefore, is far more than just shortening the blade. We also focused closely on weight, thickness and overall packability.

Bohler M390 Premium Blade Steel | Long-Lasting Cutting Performance

We selected Bohler M390 steel to deliver enduring performance and superior edge retention. It is a highly regarded premium blade material widely adopted for high-end folding knives.

Superior Edge Retention It maintains sharpness through extended use. You get stronger cutting performance with far fewer sharpening sessions.

High Hardness (HRC 60–62) Protects the cutting edge against wear and deformation during frequent use.

Fine, Consistent Internal Structure The steel features a clean, uniform internal composition for exceptional wear resistance and dependable long-term performance.

Excellent Corrosion Resistance Engineered to resist rust, moisture, and everyday abrasion.

20° DPS Precision V-Grind Edge | Optimized for Daily EDC Tasks

Engineered with a strict 20-degree V-shaped edge geometry, this blade is purpose-built for everyday cutting, slicing, and general EDC use. It balances sharpness and durability perfectly, delivering reliable performance for daily carry scenarios.

Wet-Grinded Secondary Micro-Edge | Ultra-Smooth Cutting

Adopting a professional wet grinding process to form a refined secondary micro-edge, the blade surface features a sleek, uniform finish. This advanced grinding method drastically reduces surface friction for remarkably smoother cuts.

Minimized Cutting Resistance | No Binding, No Tearing

The slim V-grind geometry penetrates materials effortlessly. It slices cleanly without snagging, binding, or tearing fabrics, paper, tape, and everyday materials, delivering a consistent, fluid cutting feel every time.

Factory-Sharp Ultimate Edge | Clean, Flawless Cuts

Multi-stage fine grinding delivers an exceptional level of out-of-box sharpness. Every cut is precise and clean, leaving neat edges on all daily materials without fraying or damage.

Enhanced Edge Retention | Longer-Lasting Sharpness

The balanced V-edge geometry distributes cutting pressure evenly, slowing down edge dulling and resisting daily wear. This significantly extends the blade’s sharp service life with less frequent sharpening.

Superior to Traditional Flat Grinds | Eliminates Common Flaws

Conventional thick flat grinds create heavy wedge resistance, easily causing blade binding, material tearing, and rapid dulling. Our optimized 20° V-grind avoids these drawbacks, combining zero-resistance cutting and long-term edge stability in one compact EDC blade.

CNC Hollowed Titanium Handle|Lightweight & Structural Rigid

•Machined from a solid block of titanium, the handle features strategically hollowed cutouts that drastically reduce overall weight for ultra-light EDC carry, while retaining full structural rigidity and long-term durability.

•Thanks to its slim, low-profile closed design, the knife sits flat in your pocket with no bulky protrusion — perfectly suited for both jeans and suit pockets. The ergonomically contoured handle delivers a secure, comfortable grip. An integrated lanyard hole allows versatile carry options with paracords or clips, expanding your daily EDC setup.

•Titanium brings exceptional corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, and weather-proof performance. It withstands daily moisture, sweat, and long-term wear, maintaining both its appearance and structural reliability for years of everyday carry.

Ergonomic Curved Handle

Balanced Weight: Hollow titanium optimizes weight distribution with minimal imbalance for responsive handling.

Fully Chamfered Edges: All corners rounded, no sharp edges, comfortable for prolonged use.

Fits Most Hands: Moderate handle length suits large and small hands, pinch grip & full grip available.

Compact Solid Grip: Small build with full grip, ideal for fine work and heavy daily cutting.

Customization Highlight

Reserved 1.5×6mm tritium vial slot for self-luminous positioning. Quickly locate the knife in darkness; customizable to embellish your EDC.

The Slipjoint Mechanism — Timeless Simplicity

This folding knife adopts a classic non-locking slipjoint design.
There is no mechanical lock, no frame lock, liner lock or back lock to hold the blade rigidly. A precision-machined backspring provides steady tension to hold the blade at open and closed positions.
The backspring simply presses against the blade tang. With enough applied force, the blade can fold back freely.
It requires two-hand manual opening only. No thumb stud, no flipper tab, no automatic spring deployment.

This minimalist mechanism brings two major benefits:

1. Fewer moving parts, higher long-term reliability, less chance of mechanical failure.

2. More friendly legal status in many regions compared with locking folding knives.

Lightweight &—Key Lanyard Hole

The knife weighs only 2.0 oz, built with an integrated key lanyard hole. Pair it with a quick-release clip for lanyard carry.

Ultra Lightweight: Hollow titanium construction, weighing only 2.0 oz — nearly as light as a key, for virtually unnoticeable carry.

Integrated Key Lanyard Hole: Reinforced hole machined into the handle tail, compatible with quick-release clips, key rings, paracord and leather lanyards.

Versatile Carry Options: Attach to backpacks, keychains or belt loops for keychain-style EDC carry.

Pocket-Friendly Compact Size: Slim closed profile, adds minimal bulk inside pockets or pouches.

Reinforced Lanyard Hole: Extra material added around the hole to resist deformation under tension.

Simple and functional tool-style design with built-in lanyard hole. The blade features a brushed finish. Balancing light weight and reliable performance, this is a true everyday carry folding knife built for daily use.
