At its core, the Liberation Street Integral features a 3.5-inch tanto blade made from Bohler M390 stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, M390 is often considered one of the best steels available for high-performance knives. The tanto blade design enhances piercing strength while still offering ample cutting edge for slicing tasks, making it versatile enough to handle everything from daily utility chores to more demanding cutting situations. The stonewash finish not only gives the blade a rugged, battle-worn character but also helps hide wear, keeping it looking sharp after repeated use.

At 5.14 ounces, this knife feels substantial in hand without being cumbersome in the pocket. The integral design means the handle is milled from a single piece of titanium, reducing points of weakness while showcasing craftsmanship of the highest order. The subtle stonewashed gray tone pairs beautifully with the blade finish, creating a cohesive and understated look that reflects quality without flashiness.
With an overall length of 7.62 inches and a closed length of 4.12 inches, the Liberation Street Integral strikes an excellent balance between compact carry and full utility.
