Why we love it

The literal answer to 'doesn't take up space' — 0.315-inch-thick milled titanium that rides lower in the pocket than almost anything that actually locks.

At just 0.315" overall thickness, it rides low in the pocket and stays out of the way until you need it. The 3.18" 154CM blade is lean but capable, balancing edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance for daily tasks. A smooth, ambidextrous crossbar lock with a ball-bearing system delivers safe, confident action for both left- and right-handed users. Tita
