Daily Carry Co. Gauntlet Model H Button Lock Folding Knife Satin D2 Hawkbill/Orange G-10 DCGH2

The Gauntlet Button Lock Folding Knife with a hawkbill blade and orange G-10 handle is built for aggressive cutting tasks and users who want maximum control in a compact, dependable tool. This version leans into utility, favoring a blade shape and handle combination that excels when precision and pulling power matter most. It’s a hard-use knife designed to work, not just ride in a pocket.

The hawkbill blade is crafted from D2 tool steel, a material trusted for its toughness and ability to hold an edge through repeated, demanding cuts. The pronounced curve of the hawkbill profile makes this blade especially effective for draw cuts, slicing rope, webbing, strapping, and other fibrous materials. It bites fast and stays engaged through the cut, giving you control and efficiency where straight blades can fall short. D2 steel keeps maintenance reasonable while delivering the durability expected from a serious everyday carry knife.

A button lock mechanism provides smooth, one-handed operation and keeps fingers clear of the blade path during opening and closing. Lockup feels solid and reassuring, even when applying pressure through tougher materials. The action is consistent and controlled, making this knife easy to deploy when speed and confidence count.

The bright orange G-10 handle adds high visibility without sacrificing performance. Textured surfaces provide a secure grip in wet or slick conditions, while the ergonomic shape fills the hand comfortably for extended use. The vivid color also makes the knife easy to spot on a workbench, in a tool bag, or if it gets set down in low light. A sturdy pocket clip keeps it secure and ready without excess bulk.

For users who rely on their knife as a working tool, this Gauntlet configuration delivers focused performance.
