Crafted with precision and built for serious everyday performance, the Dead Reckon Integral Vertebrae Folding Knife showcases premium American manufacturing from blade tip to backspacer. This high-end folder features a 3.42" CPM S45VN stainless steel modified clip point blade with Dead Reckon’s distinctive "New Sexy" profile. The sleek blade shape combines modern styling with practical cutting performance, while the rugged stonewash finish helps disguise wear and keeps the knife looking ready for action through years of use.
The Integral Vertebrae deploys quickly and effortlessly using a blade flipper riding on sealed stainless steel roller ball bearings. The result is exceptionally smooth, reliable action that feels refined with every opening. Once deployed, a robust button lock secures the blade firmly in place while providing simple one-handed operation and easy closing.
The knife's defining feature is its integral aircraft-grade aluminum handle, machined from a single piece for outstanding strength, rigidity, and clean aesthetics. Finished in Matte Sand, the handle offers a rugged, field-ready appearance that stands apart from traditional pocket knives. Adding a bold splash of color, the front handle is accented with Dead Reckon’s signature orange anchor embellishment, creating a striking visual contrast against the subdued earth-tone finish. Completing the build are premium pocket clip and hardware components crafted from 17-4 PH and 416 stainless steel, all protected by a durable salt-bath nitride black coating for enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection.
At 4.83" closed and weighing just 3.8 ounces, the Integral Vertebrae carries comfortably while delivering the strength and capability expected from a premium American-made folder. Whether it's carried daily, taken into the field, or displayed in a collection, this knife reflects Dead Reckon’s commitment to quality craftsmanship. Every knife is proudly designed, manufactured, and assembled in Grove City, Ohio, USA.
