The Kinzua Mission Series features a 3.4-inch serrated tanto blade made from CPM MagnaCut stainless steel, one of the most advanced blade steels available. MagnaCut was engineered to provide an exceptional balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, making it an outstanding choice for everyday carry and demanding cutting applications. The black blade finish gives the knife a sleek, tactical appearance while helping reduce glare and improving surface durability. The reinforced tanto profile provides excellent tip strength for piercing and hard-use tasks, while the serrated edge adds versatility for cutting through challenging materials such as rope, webbing, straps, and heavy-duty packaging.
Designed for quick and reliable one-handed use, the Kinzua Mission Series features an integrated flipper tab and precision ball bearing pivot system. A simple flick of your index finger deploys the blade smoothly and confidently, while the sturdy frame lock securely holds it open during use. This dependable locking mechanism provides the stability needed for everything from everyday utility work to outdoor adventures and demanding jobs around the shop.
The lightweight carbon fiber handle delivers exceptional durability while keeping the knife comfortable for all-day carry. Featuring a distinctive triple-faceted design, the handle offers a modern, refined appearance while improving grip and control. Carbon fiber construction provides impressive strength without unnecessary weight, allowing the Kinzua to weigh just 3.46 ounces while maintaining a premium feel. With a closed length of 4.75 inches, this folder offers the perfect balance between portability and performance. A reversible deep-carry steel pocket clip allows for secure, discreet carry and accommodates both left- and right-handed users.
