World’s most lightweight knife
The idea was to create a pocket-size but fully functional folding knife for daily use that is compact enough for everyday carry. The complete rethinking of the use of the popular interchangeable trapezoid blade with a cutting edge of 62mm (2.441 inches). The knife consists of three parts that makes it extremely reliable. The simple mechanism was invented to provide wear-resistance and endurance, that makes knife durable and easy-care. Absolutely innovative mechanism allows to fix the blade in 4 positions depending on the purpose with zero backlash. The total weight is only 16.15 grams (0.55oz).
Design
This knife was designed to provide very strong and useful product with the lowest weight characteristics. Absolutely fresh vision of using old worldwide known trapezoid blades with full length of cutting edge of 62mm (2.441 inches).
The complex pattern created to minimise weight without losing strength characteristics. Main parts are completed of one of the most durable v95ochat2 alloys primarily used for aerospace industry.
Ergonomic handle shape allows to apply force in different directions, depend on type of work. Non-slip handle prevents from injuries even with sweaty or wet hands. The unique lock mechanism allows to fix knife in the most useful positions without any efficiency losses. It also prevents backlash or accidental closing while in use. Different angles of blade fixing allow to use the knife in various ways.
Two different types of custom titanium screws are designed to improve using and maintenance of the product.
Tiny carbon part placed on the handle makes knife completely safety when closed.
It is also suitable when you travel by plane without luggage. When you arrive all you need is to buy a pack of trapezoid blades that are worldwide popular, then one blade can be easily replaced by another blade without a screwdriver.
