The Mission Series brings a purpose-driven approach to EDC, pairing premium construction with practical functionality.
The Kinzua Mission Series features a 3.4-inch serrated tanto blade made from CPM S35VN stainless steel, a premium blade material known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Designed to maintain dependable performance through heavy use, S35VN provides the strength and durability needed for a wide range of applications. The black blade finish delivers a sleek, tactical appearance while helping reduce glare and adding additional surface protection.

Built for quick and reliable one-handed operation, the Kinzua Mission Series features an integrated flipper tab and smooth ball bearing pivot system. A simple flick of your index finger deploys the blade with speed and precision, while the rugged frame lock securely holds it open during use. This dependable locking system provides confidence whether you're handling everyday utility tasks, outdoor gear preparation, or demanding work around the shop.
The lightweight carbon fiber handle provides an exceptional combination of strength, durability, and reduced weight. Its distinctive triple-faceted design creates a modern, refined appearance while enhancing grip and handling comfort. Carbon fiber construction keeps the knife strong without unnecessary bulk, making it ideal for everyday carry. Measuring 4.75 inches closed and weighing only 3.46 ounces, the Kinzua offers impressive capability in a compact, pocket-friendly package. A reversible deep-carry steel pocket clip provides secure, discreet carry and allows for comfortable use by both left- and right-handed users.
